This site is organized by the 4 strands of Ontario's Secondary English Curriculum: Writing, Reading and Literature, Oral Communication and Media. Click on a strand above or below to view skills instruction and practice pages. A description of each strand is provided below. However, given the complex nature of language, many skills fall into more than one strand.

-writing structures and elements such as essays, reports, paragraphs, thesis and topic sentences, patterns of organization, grammar, punctuation, coherence, MLA and APA documentation and other academic conventions.

-rhetorical methods, building and supporting arguments, critical thought and analysis of information, demonstrating knowledge and understanding of texts.

-oral/public speaking, debates, seminars, presentations, formal and informal speeches, listening skills and vocabulary.

-using, creating and interpreting print and electronic media, such as posters, PowerPoint, seminars and presentations, video, film, art, magazines, newspapers and web pages.

If you are an LPCI student, your English teacher uses rubrics to assess your skills in each strand. Start your improvement by working on the strand(s) in which you score the lowest. If you are in Mr. Antonini's class, refer to the error codes here.
