ELA B30: Jan 31 Questions discussed and collage work
- We did a homework check this morning on the questions and 40 sentences students were to have completed. (We checked this by the ‘honor system’.)
- We discussed the story and answered the questions. Our discussion centered on the idea of ‘perception’ and how some people seem to do such odd things it makes it clear that an individual’s perception of reality or what others think of them isn’t always necessarily accurate. (For example, we discussed those people who seem to not understand that there is a limit to the amount of tanning that seems appropriate. Those people who tan ‘black’ seem to stand out as an individual who must have some type of insecurity or obsessive nature about their appearance.)
- Students were reminded that the purpose of them coming up with their 40 words on their own, and not just gathered in census from their friends, is for them to sit and ponder a moment what impression it seems others have of them, and then to compare that with the impression they have of themselves. Do these two personality qualities seem to be similar or very different?
- The collage assignment is due next Monday. You are to type out your forty words and sentences, your two individual paragraphs and have your name attached to that. You are to attach your collage to this but not have a name or identification at all on your collage to protect your anonymity. These collages will be displayed, nameless, at the back of the class.
