For the ill and the absent-minded -

Here, you will find a very brief summary of class discussions and activities, lists of assigned readings, and links to other resources. The posts are reminders of what we covered in class and/or of what you missed by being absent physically and/or mentally. Please post all work in your digital folders via Google Drive. If we are required to work remotely, the posts will give directions for the day's activities, and let you know when we will meet via Google Meets. Please read the posts, talk with your classmates, and do the practise work as it suits the timing at home. If you're still confused, please email me: ms.ignacio@stpats.bc.ca

(NB: I do not condone class absences - you must be present, in class, actively listening and participating whenever possible. Always communicate your absences with the school office as well as with me. It is your responsibility to make arrangements for missed learning opportunities. You MUST meet all assignment deadlines. If we have to meet via Google Meets, please make a note of the QR link posted in Room 205 for the meeting id and passwords.)

B - The one about archetypes.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why do human cultures, separated by thousands of years and miles, keep telling the exact same story?

Learners told their summer stories.

We looked at the course outline together and discussed assessment. Learners created their e-portfolios and granted me access to collaborate.

Learners mapped out their favourite stories and we uncovered archetypal patterns in plot and character. We looked at Joseph's Campbell's "map" and I suggested the course is about recognizing these patterns in western literature throughout time.

NEXT CLASS: Beowulf
