We opened the block with thinking about the connections between Alberta separatism efforts, and this news story on a FAKE note sent to homeowners in Britannia Beach. Who profits from fear/division/anger/the inability of neighbours to recognize and hear one another? Students were reminded about the ownership of the National Post, and to always read for biased language, regardless of the source.
Students finished the novel with "Locks Mean Nothing to Ghosts," and we debriefed the chapter.
Students spent the very last part of the block in groups - they began a list of the themes/big ideas present in the text. We will pick up here next day. Those who are not on task will be asked to work separately next class.
No homework.
