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. Please post all work in your digital folders via Google Drive. 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. If you're still confused, please email me: ms.ignacio@stpats.bc.ca

(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 - The one with sea shanties.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is it important to look for patterns in literature?

Learners shared their sea shanties.

We looked at Venerable Bede and the excerpt from History of the English Church and People. I suggested that Anglo-Saxon literature wasn't just epic poetry. Learners talked about what the excerpt shows about Anglo-Saxon society.

Learners read and offered summaries on sections from the Introduction to the Medieval Period.

READ: 

  • Growth of the English Language: Old English and the Anglo-Saxon Period
  • The Medieval Period
  • Chaucer's bio
NEXT CLASS: middle English, Learner Conferences
