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.)

G - The one with the reading process.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why follow a process when completing a close reading of text?

We reviewed the course outline and spoke briefly about class expectations.

Learners read Galsworthy's "The Japanese Quince" (see the link at the left) and wrote a one-sentence summary of plot in parallel form. We reviewed learners' contributions before proceeding with a closer reading of the short story. Learners worked in groups to discuss character.

DISTRIBUTED: Permission Forms for Bard on the Beach's Hamlet for 17 September

  • set-up your digital folder via Google Drive - label it "G-your last name" - and make me a collaborator
