ENG2D Independent Study and Final Exam
An independent novel study with check-ins, a student-led seminar and portfolio, and a final exam with an original sight passage.

Everything for the end of the course: book speed dating, a reading plan and journal, three check-ins, student-led novel seminars, a growth portfolio, and a two-hour written final exam (20%, for the exam period, as Ontario requires from September 2026) built around an original short story, with language and media questions and a teacher key. The seminar and portfolio count as classroom work.
