=English Literature 12= =Welcome to Ms. Rollins' English Literature 12 Wiki.=

English Literature 12 encompasses the study of major works from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the present day. This wiki is designed as a place for students in this course to work together to develop their knowledge and understanding of these works and the author's contributions to the development of the English language. There are two main ways students can use this wiki to create knowlwedge. One is to contribute to notes and articles about the time period, author or the specific work. The other is to engage in discussion about the time period, author or specific work by using the discussion feature on each page. It is hoped that this wiki will help students develop their understanding of the course content by tapping in to the combined knowledge of the group. How well it develops and how much it helps students expand their knowledge is totally dependent on the participation of members of the group. The wiki is not a place to air personal gripes or issues.
