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 pilots and paddles.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What can poetry do that prose cannot?

Learners worked in pairs to read aloud, listen to, and appreciate sound and imagery in E. Pauline Johnson's "The Pilot of the Plains" and "The Song My Paddle Sings" (see the links to the left).

Learners picked one of the poems (hopefully, the one that resonates more) and began preparations for memorizing the piece.

PRACTISE:

  • Prepare a dramatic choral reading of one of Johnson's poems.
  • Prepare your Learning Inventory for discussion next class.
NEXT CLASS: Learner Conferences
