What do you remember?

We began with Writer's Workshop today, looking at two samples of memoir poems.  We noted the successes of each piece: use of figurative language, imagery, powerful and specific vocabulary, thorough description and creation of mood/emotion.  We then spent time writing our own memoir poem draft, which we will return to on Wednesday.

We then looked at the social psychology concept of "deindividuation" and shared our definition placemats.  We discussed the hockey riots and bullying as examples of deindividuation.

Students were asked to consider how this concept applies to Chapter Four of the novel and to bring these thoughts on Wednesday.
