Burnaby Online is now offering English First Peoples 12.
English First Peoples 12 is grounded in the First Peoples Principles of Learning. It focuses on the experiences, values, beliefs and lived realities of First Peoples as they are represented in a variety of texts, including oral story, poetry, song, performance, film and prose. The course is designed for all students – Indigenous or non-Indigenous – who are interested in delving deeply into First Peoples oral and written literature and visual texts in a range of media. A variety of writing exercises (formal and informal) will be undertaken as a means to exploring how students think and feel about the texts they have read. A key feature of the course is its focus on authentic First Peoples voices (using historical or contemporary texts created by or with First Peoples). While the focus in EFP 12 is primarily on First Peoples voices from BC, students will also engage with texts which reflect First Peoples’ experiences from elsewhere in Canada and throughout the world.
