ENG4U Complete Course: Grade 12 University English

A complete, ready-to-teach semester of ENG4U. Every lesson is 75 minutes and the course covers 88 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. All 70 ENG4U specific expectations are covered, and the day-by-day schedule shows where.

Teaching outside Ontario?

A full Grade 12 university-preparation English course: the essay, Hamlet, Frankenstein, modern drama (A Doll's House and Trifles), Indigenous and Canadian literature, dystopia and the attention economy, and an independent study with critical sources. It fits Grade 12 academic English or ELA 12 anywhere, and is strong preparation for first-year university English. Everything comes as editable Word and PowerPoint files, so you can replace the Ontario expectation codes with your own standards and adjust the evaluation plan to your school's rules. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
