Welcome!

The purpose of this independent study is expansive. I desire to increase my understanding of Canadian literature and its origins and effects, and I want to take pride in the fact that I am reading Canadian literature as well. I think supporting your nation's art base is very important, and will somehow reflect back to me in some shape or form. Also, upon reading and learning, I hope to expand my vocabulary and become a better writer, because reading is a fundamental step in the path to better writing. I'll also benefit from writing responses as well as feedback for peer responses. I think it is very important to remain connected to a comfortable base and feed from other people's ideas. What better environment to do this than a classroom, with twenty-eight other students who are just as inquisitive and supportive as I!
