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 learned that Francis Bacon is to blame.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Can restraint be more powerful than action?

FREE WRITE: "losing sight of self"

Learners worked in pairs from last day to refined and share theme statements for "The Guest" and "The Shining Houses." We worked together on writing extending level statements. I suggested that learners consider all the elements of the short story (plot, setting, character, point of view), as well as the devices of the short story (conflict, irony, symbol, etc.), and also the title!

We looked at Francis Bacon's essay "Of Revenge" (see the link to the left).  We discussed form and tried to paragraph the essay.

PRACTISE: Make suggestions for paragraph division for "Of Revenge"

READ: from McClean's "Why I Rant and Why You Should Too"

REMINDER: $5 for Hamlet
