High SchooliCAL Export

When: 9:00 - 10:30 am Tues/Thurs, Apr 21 to May 29 in time for June '26 diploma exam

This workshop is intended to assist students who are preparing for the written portion of the English 30 Diploma exam. Students will learn to decode essay prompts and utilize effective essay formatting. Applicants need to have advanced writing experience.

This workshop covers the 2 essay types of the written portion of the exam: the Critical/Analytical Response to Literature and the Personal Response. Students will be taken through a 6 week program to cover each of the 7 scoring categories of the exam to help students achieve the highest score they can. Students will meet up to 90 minutes twice a week, and will have lots of hands-on writing practice and feedback. Marks for essays and mock-exam in this workshop may be used toward the ELA course challenge portfolio.

Workshop acceptance based upon application. A maximum of eight students will be accepted.

If you are considering writing the 30-2 diploma - or you'd like to know the difference between these two exams - please contact Kathy.
