Students read their personal novels.
We talked about a series of questions regarding the connection to place/space, and students were asked to consider what it might feel like to move from the North, to somewhere like Vancouver.
Students were introduced to poet Samantha Marie Nock, after which we read her poem "Kiwetinohk Ohci"
- (I strongly recommended that those interested in attending post-secondary, or working in business in B.C. add some Indigenous creators to their follows)
HOMEWORK: Answer the questions on the sheet provided (you are welcome to type longer answers on a separate sheet, and staple them together
Some reading strategies offered today:
uRead the poem once – and then a
second time.
uHighlight new/unfamiliar words,
terms, references, or allusions.
uCreate a graphic for “speaker” and
explain the speaker
uCreate a graphic for “topic” and
name the topic(s)
uCreate a graphic of “theme” or
“main idea” and decide on the message or takeaway of the poem
uLook over the poem again with an
eye for literary devices. Catch examples of alliteration, allusions,
apostrophe, imagery, wordplay, stanza and line break decisions
