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 I was in and out and all about the hullaballoo.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the difference between art and artifice and how does the tension play into literature?

Learners were meant to read independently, but I asked them to read Greene's "The Destructors" instead. Then, I interrupted the exercise because the evaluators didn't need to see me yet. So, I brought learners back to last class's discussion of Rita Joe's "I Lost My Talk" and asked learners to discuss what reconciliation might look like for the speaker of the poem.

I had to leave shortly thereafter, so according to Mrs. Graham, you worked quietly, reading Greene's short story.
