Students have continued to read a favourite poem to the class. I am expecting to hear all students read a poem before we finish the unit. We had quite an interesting discussion about risk taking and living life to the fullest. We discussed the idea of good risk and bad risk. Why people choose risky activities...and even the idea that for some people speaking in class can be risky.
Students should complete a full page response (typed) to the poem, "Lesson of the Moth." Make sure you introduce the poem, make your point/opinion and then back it up with an example from the poem. This assignment will be due next Mon. for class 84 and Tues. for class 85. For those who have been away please get your parents to edit for you. The rest of the class has benefitted from discussion of the poem and editing by me. Make sure you have your work edited by someone.
PLEASE NOTE: if you do not have a copy of the poem, print one out from the internet.
