We opened today talking about election results - and some of the really positive, unifying statements that politicians of all stripes have made in the past few days.
We talked about the importance of having one's vote count, and then looked at this CBC article on folks who were unable to vote in the North.
We finished reading "The Long Stumble," and students took notes.
We discussed important aspects of the chapter (core character and thematic moments) before reading "Rougarou Comes Hunting." (Block 1 has about a page left in the chapter)
Students are encouraged to attend the Handsworth Writing Lab - to find out what it's all about, and to get help working on any of the issues that may have come up in their previous writing. They can take their lunch - stay for all, or part of the hour - and are welcome to take a friend.
