The
Content:
Welcome to your final year of High School
English! This year will fulfill your expectations of English in that we will
study non-fiction, novels, drama, poetry, and short stories. We will also work
to improve your essay writing and prepare for the English provincial exam. There
will be a departure from the usual approach to studying English in that we will
study one themed unit per term where
each selected piece with have one specific theme as its focus. While short stories and poetry will be
peppered throughout each term, we will study a novel in term 1 and a play in
term 2. We will always strive to approach each work from a biblical
perspective. A reading list will be provided for each unit.
The
Student:
Your active participation will make the difference
between a dull or dynamic class. You will need to have a journal and duo tang

class—10% daily otherwise. Additionally, refer to the Works Cited page of your planner for proper citation of all

Graduation Transitions
The Course:
The
Graduation Transitions module of the Christian Studies 12 course, in
conjunction with the objectives of the BC Ministry of Education’s Career and
Personal Planning program, aims to prepare students for graduation and to
examine transitional issues and aspects of life after high school in a distinct
Christian worldview. You will gain a better understanding of God’s will
and calling for your lives and use your discernment to explore and research
post-secondary educational opportunities and career paths. You will be
guided through the process of school and job applications and be given the
tools to pursue these areas. You will also learn more about budgeting,
financial planning, and avenues for financial aid and scholarships.
Finally, you will begin work on your Graduation Portfolio with the
support of your peers until the end of the semester. The theme throughout
this course, “Leaving to Discover”, reflects the purpose of Graduation
Transitions: to challenge and enable you to identify and develop your unique
gifts and skills to serve in the world, to help discern God’s calling for your
life, and to ground your decisions and values, in terms of career, education,
and post-secondary life, in biblical principles.
Objectives:
As with all Carver Christian Studies modules, the
objectives for this course are:
1. To develop and deepen
an understanding of the Bible.
2. To apply Biblical principles in everyday
life and in a variety of contexts.
3. To articulate Christian worldview.
Specifically
for Graduation Transitions, the objectives are:
- To
develop a deeper understanding of the biblical principles to guide our
discernment of God’s will for our lives.
- To
identify and use our gifts to make decisions and plan for our future to
influence and serve in the world.
- To reflect upon
and articulate one’s faith and role as a servant leader in the world.
In the next four weeks we will cover the following:
·
Discerning God’s call for your life

Post-Secondary education

Career Exploration and The Workplace
