ENG3U Complete Course: Grade 11 University English

A complete, ready-to-teach semester of ENG3U. Every lesson is 75 minutes and the course covers about 90 class periods, so it fits a standard Ontario semester with room for assemblies and PD days.

Every unit mixes reading, writing, oral communication and media, and ends with an assessment of learning and a four-level rubric. Every studied text is public domain and included in full, and all other texts were written for these lessons, so there are no copyright problems and no class sets to buy.

Teaching outside Ontario?

A full Grade 11 university-preparation English course: literary lenses, rhetoric and argument, Othello, poetry across the ages, The Great Gatsby, documentary and media, and an independent novel study with a comparative essay. It fits Grade 11 academic English or ELA 11 anywhere.
