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 very thin threads of memory.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What makes something a representative piece?

Learners used the first few minutes of the class to make final preparations for the recitation (or, for many pairs, to come up with an appropriate excuse and plan for doing the recitation another day).

Thank you to Emelia, Airin, Kylie for the beautiful recitation of Johnson's "The Song My Paddle Sings." And, thank you Fiona and Christina for completing the peer evaluation.

We read together Jeanette's Armstrong's "Threads of Old Memory" and learners worked in their pairs to appreciate the poem.

EXIT TICKET: What was the most difficult thing about preparing the poetry recitation? (Learners posted their responses to the digital whiteboard.)

REMINDER: Please have the Poetry Recitation Rubric ready when you present next class.

NEXT CLASS: Recitations, continued appreciation of Armstrong's poem
