ENL1W Unit 2: Word Lab

How do small choices with words and sentences change what readers understand? Hands-on lessons cover the Foundations of Language strand (B2 and B3): word parts, vocabulary in context, sentence structure, grammar and punctuation, all practised in students' own writing.

Assessment of learning: a reader's theatre performance and an edited, annotated piece of the student's own writing, with rubrics.
