Enjoyment and Entertainment II

Presentation

The Enjoyment and Entertainment II workbook engages the student in a mentor / protegé relationship. The student plays the role of an intern in a multi-media production company. Each chapter models an authentic learning situation that develops the skills and competencies required to accomplish the production of various resources for the production company. The course addresses a single class of situations: Exploring and appreciating the creative potential of language. This is the first of two courses for the Secondary II level.

Content

The workbook contains eight learning situations and three formative assessment situations. The Enjoyment and Entertainment II workbook explores the creative potential of language by presenting a series of “Work Requests” to the student. The students are guided by a team of mentors in developing the skills and competencies necessary to complete the Work Request. The creative potential of language is explored through the analysis of informative, expressive, and aesthetic language. The students produce various multi-media forms such as short stories, interviews, television scripts, song lyrics, graphic novella, and spoken word poetry. Students are required to form and express opinions and preferences. Media resource page: online or down-loadable audio and video resources Annexes: Glossary, Audio Transcripts, Answer Key
