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 you low key listened to the sub and probably just did your own work instead. (Am I capping?)

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How do our surrounding influence our decisions?

Today was with Ms. Villaceran, a TTOC.

Learners should have read their independent novels, then worked in pairs to identify two to three examples (from "The Guest") of:

  • Moral ambiguity

  • Isolation / alienation

  • Conflict between societal expectation and personal choice

  • Indifference of the universe (landscape, fate)

PRACTISE: Write Daru's monologue or his diary entry when he sees what's written on the blackboard of the school house at the end of the short story.

READ: Camus's The Outsider (see the link to the left)

NEXT CLASS: the absurd, existentialism, language
