English 9 - Wednesday and Thursday, January 7-8

For block days this week, we started Readinng the World by examining literature from Canada. We read two selections, "Borders" by Thomas King, a short story, and a poem by Margaret Atwood entitled "At the Tourist Centre in Boston." We went over some guided reading questions, followed by a class discussion about cultural identity. No homework tonight, just make sure you have completed the reading by Friday. If you were absent, please see me so that you can check out a copy of the book to take home. To view the discussion questions and the guided reading questions we did in class, click here.
