Learning objective: to develop our understanding of what resilience is through a range of texts.
We have several activities on offer today:
1. Mrs Newton is working with a group of students, building on the skills and discussion developed in her last session: Ikhlas, Dayton, Blake, Jaxon, Isaac (+ Troy, Lakin & Ridge?)
2. For students who have not yet completed their work on three cartoons from the Diary of a Part Time Indian, you have time to work on this. Instructions are here. Remember to use your wider knowledge of the book to help you pull out the significance of each cartoon (ideas in the cartoon and why they are important).
3. For students ready for some thing new, our next text exploring resilience is Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. There are lots of versions of this poem online. For the text only, see here. This visual + audio version uses images from throughout history to add meaning to her words. It links in beautifully to our focus on film which starts later this week.
Take some time to read the poem (I will have printed copies) and to watch the visual+audio version. You may also want to read about Maya Angelou herself before you work on the Socrative questions. If you google "Maya Angelou biography" you will get plenty of quality options.
Then please log onto Socrative. Your room is MSQUICK. The quiz is waiting for you to do. You do have to use your real name please, but I won't reveal the names - only I will have that access.
