Today's classes had a quick session with Mr. Craik about course programming, before we began our work in earnest. He offered this link to help folks find admission requirements for specific schools.
Students received the rubric for their Fishbowl work.
The first group presented their discussion, and set a clear standard for what a thorough and genuine engagement with text can be.
The second group received the next section of text - they will be preparing to discuss it for the class on Thursday, and will have additional time at the beginning of our next block, while we catch up (catch up with the reading we missed due to today's presentation).
Homework:
- Many students will find having their own copy of the text beneficial - this will enable note-taking and re-reading outside of class and tutorial times...Maybe a trip to the library is in order?
- Students can continue taking notes on character, setting, and comprehension questions - page numbers should be added as and when possible.
- The second group has been given their section of text to work with, and will be investigating the term pathetic fallacy. We will finish reading the chapter together at the start of next class, while the group works ahead to prepare for the subsequent fishbowl discussion
Well done, everyone!
