Lesson 77

We opened the block with thinking about the connections between Alberta separatism efforts, and this news story on a FAKE note sent to homeowners in Britannia Beach. Who profits from fear/division/anger/the inability of neighbours to recognize and hear one another? Students were reminded about the ownership of the National Post, and to always read for biased language, regardless of the source.

Students spent most of the block working in groups (or alone, if last week's work did not include enough focus from them) on the theme webs we began.

Writing planning will be our focus going forward.
