Institutional Learning Outcomes: Communication, Indigenous Knowledges and Ways This course is comparable to the second half of other first-year university English courses. Course requirements include reading: novels, a novel excerpt, one-act and full-length plays, and a wide range of poems. The six instructional units in this course cover a broad and exciting range and depth of literature written in English by Canadian Indigenous writers, beginning in the twentieth century. Students will develop an appreciation for both the significance of oral storytelling to contemporary Indigenous writers as well as the diverse contributions of these writers to contemporary literature. Students will identify, analyze and discuss many literary conventions related to fiction, drama and poetry. In addition, students will receive further experience in composition and in writing critical essays, including a formal research paper. Prerequisites: English Studies 12 or equivalent. ENGL 1001 or ENGL 1021 are recommended. Note: This course satisfies the second half of the introductory English literature and composition requirement of TRU degrees. Students with credit for ENGL 1011 or ENGL 1029 may not take this course for further credit. If in doubt, please contact your academic advisor. Students cannot get credit for more than one of ENGL 1011.
