This course follows the recommendations of the O’Connor Report (2003) and focuses on the literacy and numeracy skills and on the essential skills needed for student’s transition from school to the workplace. The English Grade 9 Locally Developed Compulsory Credit Course is a prerequisite of this course. Students who demonstrate the required level of competency and who achieve the specified outcomes of this Grade 10 course will be entitled to receive a credit for a Grade 10 English course. This locally developed course prepares students for the EAE3E English course - Grade 11 Workplace Preparation. Course Profile – Rationale The EAE2L course profile outlines teaching, learning, and assessment/evaluation strategies that enable students to achieve specific outcomes and to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in the various strands of the course. Teachers are expected to personalize and adapt these suggestions according to their teaching style and their students’ needs. The activities and strategies in the course profile are based on the overall and specific expectations of the locally developed course that was redesigned and approved by the Ontario Ministry of Education in 2008. Course Profile – Pedagogical Framework The course profile is based on the theories and practices of explicit teaching as outlined by Steve Bissonnette and Mario Richard. In keeping with this pedagogical framework, the course profile suggests a series of strategies and steps such as modelling, teacher-directed practice, individualized practice, and reflective practice/review. Activities are broken down into sequential teaching and learning blocks that enable students to progress gradually from simple to more complex subject matter. Teaching, learning, and assessment/evaluation strategies have been aligned with the expectations outlined in the EAE2L curriculum. Introduction EAE2L 5 Course Overview Course Code: EAE2L Credit Value: 1 Course Description In the Grade 10 Locally Developed Course in English, students develop and apply literacy skills – speaking, listening, reading, and writing – necessary for communication in their daily lives and for further study in the Grade 11 workplace preparation course in English. They build on strategies to speak and write correctly and effectively for practical purposes, and to read and interpret informational texts, media texts, and literary texts on relevant topics and issues. Students extend their literacy, mathematical literacy/numeracy, and essential work-related skills, examining models of effective communication and exploring career options. The Grade 10 Locally Developed Course in English is organized into four thematic strands. The overall and specific expectations of each strand have been regrouped by skills under the following subheadings: Extending Speaking and Listening Skills, Extending Reading Skills, Extending Writing Skills, Extending Language Skills. In the Citizen of the World strand, students extend and apply communication skills as they explore various facets of the strand’s theme, making connections with their personal experience and with relevant topics and issues. They reflect on their role as responsible citizens of society as they apply oral communication skills and the reading and writing processes. In The World of Technology strand, students extend and apply communication skills as they collect, interpret,
