AP Literature and Composition

This year's AP Literature and Composition classes journeyed to the University of Victoria's McPherson Library for a research trip. Students prepared by identifying a 16th, 17th, or 18th century poet for study, then collecting biographical information from the Internet and assembling a brief anthology of poems. Mrs. Stroebel visited these classes ahead of the trip to review with us the requirements for MLA bibliographies. She also provided tremendous help to students at the library. The outing provided access to critical articles and other printed resources not available in digital form and introduced students to the awesome world of scholarship. Many thanks to Mrs. Stroebel for her work on our behalf. (It was gratifying to discover several Shawnigan Alumni in the stacks!)
