The K-12 aim of the Saskatchewan English
language arts curricula is to help students understand and appreciate language,
and to use it confidently and competently in a variety of situations for
learning, communication, work, life, and personal satisfaction.
The poems,
stories, essays, plays and novels that will be studied are works of literature
which students can relate to their own lives and will focus on two themes: Canadian
Perspectives: Distinct and Rich, and Canadian Landscapes: Diverse and Dynamic.
Canadian Perspectives: Distinct and Rich
- Define the Individual, Negotiate the Community
- Celebrate the Glorious, Acknowledge the Scandalous
- Shift Centers, Blur Margins
Canadian Landscapes: Diverse and Dynamic
- Natural and Constructed
- Psychological and Physical
- Historical and Contemporary
- Personal and Societal
