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.)

B - ... when you finally did your Scottish accents, but then needed time to get readings done.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What role does memory play in literature?

Learners performed their dramatic reading of Burns's "To A Mouse."

In preparation for some work on the Early Romantics, learners shared their first Grade 8 memory of a place on campus. I explained that Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," like other romantic writers is a more "inward" piece about the memory of a place in a particular moment in time and that next day we would explore that idea further.

Learners used the rest of the period to catch up on their readings.
