ENG4U Independent Study and Final Exam
The end of the course: an independent novel study with critical sources, a comparative essay and seminar, review lessons, and a two-hour final exam with an original sight essay and marking guide.

A book tasting, three short check-ins, a workshop on finding and responding to critical sources, a comparative essay workshop, student-led seminars, a sight-text routine for prose and essays, review stations, timed practice with conferences, and a reflection on the skills students will carry after high school.
