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 some of you slowcooked the essay and others hit send on life updates.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What purpose does telling story serve?

Learners used the period to finish their essays on "The Destructors" and also used the time to prepare an email to their parents about their learning and set some goals for the next few weeks with regard to deepening their English Language Arts skills. I asked learners to copy me at ms.ignacio@stpats.bc.ca in the email to their parents.

READ: Camus's "The Guest" and The Outsider

PRACTISE: Use this template to compose an email to your parents outlining your learning so far and sharing some of your goals for improving your skills. Please remember to copy me in the email - ms.ignacio@stpats.bc.ca

NEXT CLASS: Camus, existentialism,
