PREFACE: USING THIS INTEGRATED RESOURCE PACKAGE

This Integrated Resource Package (IRP) provides basic information teachers will require in order to implement the English Literature 12 curriculum. This document supersedes the English Literature 12 Integrated Resource Package (1996). The information contained in this IRP is also available via the Ministry web site: . The following paragraphs provide brief descriptions about each section of the IRP.

THE INTRODUCTION

The Introduction provides general information about English Literature 12, including special features and requirements. It also provides a rationale for teaching English Literature 12 in BC schools.

THE ENGLISH LITERATURE 12 CURRICULUM

The provincially prescribed curriculum for English Literature 12 is structured in terms of curriculum organizers. The main body of this IRP consists of four columns of information for each organizer. These columns provide

? provincially prescribed learning outcome statements

? suggested instructional strategies for achieving the outcomes

? suggested assessment strategies for determining how well students are achieving the outcomes

? additional information, including information about provincially recommended learning resources.

Prescribed Learning Outcomes

Learning outcome statements are content standards for the provincial education system. Prescribed learning outcomes set out

the knowledge, enduring ideas, issues, concepts, skills, and attitudes for each subject. They are statements of what students are expected to know and be able to do in each grade. Learning outcomes are clearly stated and expressed in observable terms. All learning outcomes complete the stem: "It is expected that students will...." Outcome statements have been written to enable teachers to use their experience and professional judgment when planning and evaluating. The outcomes are benchmarks that will permit the use of criterionreferenced performance standards. It is expected that actual student performance will vary. Evaluation, reporting, and student placement with respect to these outcomes depend on the professional judgment of teachers, guided by provincial policy.

Suggested Instructional Strategies

Instruction involves the use of techniques, activities, and methods that can be employed to meet diverse student needs and to deliver the prescribed curriculum. Teachers are free to adapt the suggested instructional strategies or substitute others that will enable their students to achieve the prescribed learning outcomes. These strategies have been developed by specialist teachers to assist their colleagues; they are suggestions only.

Suggested Assessment Strategies

The assessment strategies suggest a variety of ways to gather information about student performance. Some assessment strategies relate to specific activities; others are general. These strategies have been developed by specialist teachers to assist their colleagues; they are suggestions only.
