Students received their Dreamer's Rock projects - some have a few corrections to do, ASAP.
We continued today's class by looking at a number of current events/issues, and big ideas:
- What does "woke" even mean, and where does the term come from?
- Language, people, and libraries (safe public spaces) need protecting.
- Joy and hope as means to resist oppression
- Buffy Saint Marie's Order of Canada being rescinded
- The renaming of Denali (and implications of place names in terms or recognition/value/history)
- The odd ways in which Indigenous claims to land are both acknowledged, then undermined by translation
Students
have a booklet of character names - they are to take notes on
characters as we read - these will be collected twice this unit
No homework.
