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.)

B - The one that was very difficult extending level discussion.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What does Milton teach us about faith during the Puritan Age?

Brianna presented her ideas about 1 Corinthians 12 and the class engaged her discussion and rated her proficiency on the text.

I spoke a little about enjoying literary pieces not just for content but for craft. I suggested that biblical texts are important literary pieces and I challenged learners to discuss and consider why.

I stepped out and learners worked with Mr. Caluod to read and discuss Milton's "On Having Arrived at the Age of Twenty-Three." Here's the prompt:

In “On Having Arrived at the Age of Twenty-Three,” Milton reflects on his perceived lack of personal and professional accomplishments. How does he navigate the tension between individual agency and divine providence? How might his perspective on fate and self-determination connect to broader Renaissance or Puritan beliefs, and how could this tension still resonate with contemporary audiences?

POST: Summarize today's discussion via the digital whiteboard. 

NEXT CLASS: more Milton at extending levels
