Students had a look at a list of the things their peers "want to learn this year," and we talked about the fact that most of those things are best supported by reading.
Students received a list of terms/devices that would have been on the old gr.10 provincial exam - they ticked off the terms they knew - it was good for them to know that they already have a pretty good handle on many of the devices commonly used in conversations around literature. Students are not expected to know every term on the list, but are encouraged to look up terms they don't know.
(Blk 6 got to hear what OLD ENGLISH actually sounds like - and it's not Shakespeare - He wrote in English very close to our own)
In small groups, students discussed whether or not their are ethical concerns with authors and artists using AI in their work - they also considered possible benefits. We then looked at an article about a current controversy around the topic, and the use of terms like "abelist" and "classist" to shut down criticism.
In the same small groups, students listened to a quick brain teaser - pulling out detail, in order to decipher a mystery...
We played a name/memory game to try and help us remember everyone's names - zero judgment - just fun to try and put faces to names.
