Greetings

Hello, and welcome to this blog! Through the Independent Study, it will help fellow students and myself to learn more in profundity the significance of Ann-Marie MacDonald. Additionally, by doing this piece of work, it will hopefully help the grade 12s build array of writing skills that will be evaluated in this projectby enhancing and developing critical writing skills that are vital to learn at the post secondary level. The ISP will consist of four parts. The first element will be an Apologia. This will explain the significance and the importance of the author; which in my case will be Ann Marie MacDonald. Questions such as why should awareness be brought to others by this novel and novelist shall be discussed. Furthermore, the second element present in this ISP will be an explication of one of Polti’s Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations as a base. This will be further elaborated and developed by quotations from the selected novel and extensive research that is done before hand. A “Works Cited Page” will accompany all the references used in the Apologia and in the Explication in accordance with the MLA format. Lastly, to accompany this ISP will be a “Personal Reflection” which will explain how the ISP helped develop me academically and intellectually. In addition to these elements, there will be journals, which are posted below and a links list that have certain useful websites when researched about the author. I am very looking forward to work toward these elements to help me build the necessary skills needed for the future.
