ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Is "otherness" a thing? How is it important in literature?
Learners worked in cooperative groups to share their monologues from last class. Learners posed questions of each other with regard to how they believe they are seen by others.
We discussed the difference between a "selfie" and a "self-portrait." Learners identified that a selfie is quick, whereas a self-portrait required more thought and more "work.
We read together and appreciated Atwood's "This is A Photograph of Me." I asked learners to consider text features, especially the parenthesis in the poem and suggested that perhaps the poem, too, is both selfie and self-portrait.
PRACTISE: Post to the digital whiteboard
- a self-portrait with a line from one of the pieces we studied so far
- a selfie with a line from your own monologue
NEXT CLASS: 94 Calls To Action, Voice
