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

F - ... when there were so few of you, but we still took selfies.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Of what value is a creative response to literature?

Very few people were in class today, but we spoke briefly about the connections between "Identities," "Naming Myself," and "Disembarking at Quebec." I asked learners to consider the selfie when talking about "Identity," and learners took a selfie and used one line/sentence from either Valgardson's short story or Kingsolver or Atwood's poems to accompany the selfie, which I asked them to post to the digital whiteboard.

NEXT CLASS: self-portraiture is an art
