“Language facilitates student development of metacognitive awareness; that is, it enables them to reflect on and control their own
thinking and learning processes. Language helps students develop an awareness of the skills and strategies they need to complete
learning tasks successfully and to communicate about themselves as learners” (Program of studies).

“Reading provides students with a means of accessing the ideas, views and experiences of others. By using effective reading skills and
strategies, students construct meaning and develop thoughtful and critical interpretations of a variety of texts” (Program of studies).

Homework: Students will not be assigned homework.

Technology: Students will not personally use any technology, but the SMART board will be used during most lessons.
