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 talked about Oscar-worthy things before you did the not-so-Oscar-worthy tableau thing.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is it important that we recognize when things are "out of joint"?

We discussed the "out of joint" connections from Yeats's "The Second Coming," Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Zhao's Hamnet (2026), and we discussed how the tensions between "cosmic chaos" and "earthly ruin" are important in literary work.

Learners tried to decipher and read aloud (with a Scottish Lowlands accent) Burns's "To A Mouse." Then, they worked together to create 5 scene tableaus with defining lines. Two groups presented; the other two groups will present next class.

READ: Of Mice and Men, "My Heart is the Earth" (see the links to the left)

NEXT CLASS: Nature
