ELA 20: Oct 26 Chapter nine reading and questions…

  1. Most of the students were away for their Career and Work Experience, but they were told on Friday they had to have Chapter nine completed, read and questions answered, for Tuesday. Those students who were here read this (listened to the audio) together and did their questions.
  2. We’ll talk, when the others return, about the important aspects of Chapter nine.

ELA A10: Oct 26 Finish the War of the World…

  1. Students shared with us all their excitement after having watched a very scary movie together Friday night. It seemed good timing that they watched a paranormal movie when we are studying “the Unknown”.
  2. We got back into listening to “The War of the Worlds”, even though we’ve discussed how this new movie they watched raised their bar even higher so it wouldn’t seem as thrilling.
  3. Once we finished, we focused on the fact that even though mankind has developed all sorts of technology and gained such knowledge through their search of information, none of that knowledge could help them against the aliens and instead it was the simplest part of nature (whether God-made or not) – bacteria. The author was making his point that science developments and the use of technology may not be competition for the natural order of things.
