Readers, writers and texts endeavors to develop students' skills required to closely examine texts by considering the following guiding conceptual questions:
1. Why and how do we study language and literature? 2. How are we affected by texts in various ways? 3. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted? 4. How does language use vary amongst text types and amongst literary forms? 5. How does the structure or style of a text affect meaning? 6. How do texts offer insights and challenges?
In addition to the research activity you will do in class, you are also encouraged to watch the following videos and read related websites and articles in order to deepen your understanding of the relevant historical context.
