This week we spent one class viewing a newly produced 60 min film on the life and times of Terry Fox edited by Steve Nash. It was a great film which looked at Terry Fox as the person behind the hero. The students were very focused on learning about Fox and the sometimes struggles he endured during his run across Canada to raise money for cancer. Students were given a worksheet asking them a number of questions focusing on motivation. This film provides a solid introduction to our Personal Unit which deals with how experieces shape us and help us grow. In this unit we will look at a number of poems, stories and films which deal with this theme.
Class completed the week with a classroom discussion on the questions and the following homework assignment due next class. Assignment: Take one of the questions from the sheet and expand your answer into a full paragraph.
The paragraph should be structured as follows:
Intro sentence
Make your point
Back it up with why you think the way you do
( you may have a couple of points and proofs)
Concluding sentence
Class still has not been assigned this work.
Next week both classes will be the library for an orientation
