***Makeup of the class:
Split class- two or more classes put together
We are a small school, so we often have to split classes.
EF6/ EF7 / English 10 (Composition 10 and Literary Studies
10) - These classes are identical.
EF - English Foundations
TWO PATHS: EF7
OR Composition 10 & Literary
Studies 10 (not called English 10 anymore)
You go to one of
these courses:
1. English
Foundations 7
OR
2. Composition 10 and Literary Studies 10 (used to be called
English 10)
EF7 and Composition 10 & Literary Studies 10 is the same
class at South Hill.
IDIOM not a big deal- nothing to worry about, small problem
e..g He made a big deal out of his shoes getting dirty.
IDIOM make a mountain out of a molehill –
Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Don’t be so
dramatic.
English 10 is now called Composition 10 and Literary Studies
10
also Media Studies 10, 11, 12
EF7/Composition 10, Literary Studies 10 – taught together,
very similar courses
Ministry of Education
rules:
-English Foundations 7 (EF7) is for Graduated Adults.
A Graduated Adult is a person who has finished high school anywhere in the
world.
-Composition and Literary Studies 10 (used to be called
English 10) is for people who have not finished high school anywhere in the
world.
e.g. under 19, students who turned 19 and ‘aged out’ of
regular high school in Vancouver, left high school for many reasons: family
trouble; health problems- physical, psychological- depression, anxiety, etc;
war in their country; political unrest; not a safe country; got a job to
support their family; not allowed to go or were not able to go to school when
they young
Wide range of reasons why people don’t finish school.
Wide range of reasons why people are here at South Hill.
Everybody has a story.
**IMPORTANT**
No matter what the reason, you are welcome here. I am really
glad you’re here.
