ELA 20: Jan 13 Discussion of question responses…
- We spent some time rereading three poems we’ve discussed recently. “The World is a Beautiful Place” from our last sub-unit, “Paper Matches” and “St George” were all reviewed with students contributing their personal responses to add to our understanding and appreciation of the poems. We reviewed, as well, several of the Roles young people their ages would have at this stage of their lives versus some of the new roles they would take on after graduation. (This seemed to help solidify for them the concept of “roles” in relation to the unit. We also discussed the idea that there would be a base set of responsibilities they might all share, although with different backgrounds and situations some responsibilities are more mature than others.
- I gave students the last ten minutes of class to choose a missing assignment from their list (if they have any missing) to complete since the deadline for those to be handed in is Friday.
