ELA 10: Nov 21 “The Man in the Water” / Deaf-Blind video…
- Students were given back the exam they wrote yesterday to see how they did. They could not keep them, though, because one student has yet to write his.
- We got back into the discussion we began the other day about our unit on Challenges. We looked at definitions within the essay and then read it carefully together. Afterwards, we considered some questions and students discussed the concept of man vs nature and how you could determine who won. If nature’s elements end up killing the man, does that mean that nature won, even though the man Chose (by his human quality of charity and self-sacrifice) to give his life to another person (by continuing to give away the rope)?
- I shared with the kids my own personal fears of physical limitations, but then left them with a video of the extreme: the deaf-blind. They were quite intrigued by the video and drawn into the idea of how difficult life could actually be for some people.
