The expectations in this folder are reproduced from The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 and 10: The Arts (revised 2010), the Grade 9 Open drama course ADA1O, published by the Ontario Ministry of Education.

The verbatim text is from the Ministry’s published document (ADA1O appears on pages 67–73). © Queen’s Printer for Ontario, 2010. Reproduced for educational use.

Each page keeps the expectation’s official code — A2.2, C3.1, and so on — and every lesson, task, and discussion in this course links back to the codes it addresses. The codes are also tags, so every page tagged #A2 can be gathered in one place.

Why the codes matter more than they look

A code is a shared address. When a student asks “why are we doing this?”, the answer is a link. When a department writes a course outline, or a teacher takes over a class partway through, the codes are what make one person’s planning legible to another.

How this course reads them

The overall expectations (A1, B2, …) name what the course is for; the specific expectations (A1.1, B2.3, …) name what we practise week to week. The folded note on each specific expectation’s page holds the Ministry’s own discussion prompts — useful when planning, and a window into what the expectation looks like in a classroom.
