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 you read aloud together, alone. Wait. What?

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Who decides "who" or "what" gets to "belong"?

FREE WRITE: Learners wrote / typed continuously for 15 minutes on the prompt, "When you feel wronged, what do you owe yourself, others, and the community"? (Learners used the period/dot to press whilst they waited for the next words to flow out.)

Learners used the period to read aloud in pairs Munro's short story, "The Shining Houses." When we came back together, we tried to use the short story checklist to engage in discussion, but learners admitted that they needed more time with the story.

PRACTISE: Finish reading the story and annotate it. Make some brief notes about the elements and prepare for discussion next day.

NEXT CLASS: Vision, resistance, power in Munro's short story
