Problem
Learning Target(s):
1) Construct meaningful personal connections between self, text, and world.
2) Respectfully exchange ideas and viewpoints from diverse perspectives to build shared understandings and extend thinking.
English Studies 12 is designed around a set of big ideas. These are meant to guide our thinking as we explore the concepts that are presented to us across the course. Below, you will find one of these big ideas. In a multi-paragraph journal, explain your understanding (or interpretation) of this big idea. Consider the things you've discovered in this course so far - the texts you've read, the ideas you've developed. But also consider your experiences outside of this course - how might they impact your understanding of this big idea? In other words, what does it mean to you? Why does it matter?
The Big Idea: Texts are socially, culturally, geographically, and historically constructed.
