Promoting Literacy and Social Action through Canadian Authors

A grade 12 writers craft class is taking a multi-pronged analysis of a Canadian author's work. Teams will be created to see how the knowledge they gain from the novel can be used to create action for social change and promote literacy. These students will then link up with a grade 12 video production class to create videos of their final projects.
