ELA 10: Feb 26 Comma quiz and “Select Samaritan”…

  1. Students wrote another comma quiz. They did a great job on yesterday’s quiz as well.
  2. We read through the poem titled “Select Samaritan” and had an enthusiastic talk about the responsibility of those of privilege. We considered the moral dilemma  when trying to decide from which country you should adopt. When adopting a child from a country where their nourishment and health has been so deprived, taking on an infant with that health history would obviously be a huge burden financially. For Canadians, this may not be such a problem but for others who have to pay so much for health care it could mean big medical bills. We also talked about the perspective of children waiting to be adopted. It was quite a lively talk today.
  3. Tomorrow, students will use their class time to blog. It will be the first class set aside for the blog assignment, but I am pleased that several have begun their blogs on their own time and are becoming familiar with it. They will have three blog topics to discuss tomorrow.
