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. 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 ZOOM. Please read the posts, talk with your classmates, and do the practise work as it suits the timing at home. Please put all work in your digital folders via Google Docs. Feel free to make comments and if you're still confused, please email me!

(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 ZOOM, please make a note of the QR link posted in Room 205 for the meeting id and passwords.)

D - The one with the Venn diagram.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is belonging so important to the individual?

We continued our study of Camus's "The Guest." Learners used a graphic organizer to compare Daru with Meursault (from Camus's novel, The Outsider.) 

Learners reflected on and discussed the title - in the original French: L'hôte, and discussed who is "guest" and who is "host," including the possible Christian connotation of host as a "sacrifice" - ie. who is the sacrificial figure in the story?
