Students continue to develop skills in close critical reading comprehension and written composition through exploration and evaluation of the the ways in which Canadian poets, dramatists and fiction writers have been in the forefront of movements for social change, expressing new visions of responsible government, economic fairness, and social equity. Students critically and creatively interpret Canadian poetry, drama, and fiction, applying a range of techniques and rhetorical strategies, diverse critical perspectives, and possible thematic lenses, including protest, satire, creativity, and citizenship. Through the study of literary expressions of subversion and social justice in their historical and cultural contexts, students learn critically and creatively to reflect on and to articulate complexities of Canadian identity. Students investigate a topic, using scholarly writing that illustrates grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills. Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent or permission of instructor or department Chair
