Are you social media savvy and interested in non traditional formats?

Students will study the conventions of graphic novels, video games, podcasts, and  social media. As well, students will examine the impact of media on the individual and society. This class aims to navigate the changing world of modern communication and explore the evolution of literacy and examine how bias plays a role in how we share information. Students will have opportunities to develop suitable inquiry projects that demonstrate new ways of communicating.  This course, like the other English offerings, will have a composition component that will focus on formal paragraph and essay writing, research projects, as well as personal projects and responses which will allow students to effectively communicate, impart and exchange information, and share experiences and ideas.
