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 we began to make deeper connections between prose, poetry, and film.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Does the act of facing mortality lead to the destruction of the hero or his/her regeneration?

Learners shared their physical representations of their interpretation of one of the motifs from Hamlet before finishing our appreciation of Yeats's "The Second Coming." I asked learners to reflect on if and how the motifs from the play echo in Yeats's poem.

As we watched the opening 20 minutes of the film, Hamnet (2026), learners kept "field notes" on how the motifs from Shakespeare's play echo in the film.

NEXT CLASS: Hamnet (2026)
