I was in grade 12 in Canada in 1978-79. University entrance English was split into the morning session with standardized curriculum and afternoon with four two-month thematic units. In the morning we studied The Grapes of Wrath, Tess of the d’ Urbervilles and two novels by the renowned Manitoba author, Margaret Laurence (The Stone Angel and A Jest of God). For afternoon English we covered units on thriller novels, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, creative writing and the Theatre of the Absurd.
