Talking Circle

In English today we started with a little housekeeping.  I reminded students that I had assigned homework and was disappointed that only a handful of students had turned it in on time. The first draft of the reflections are due tonight and I will commenting on them to give student a chance to make corrections. The final drafts are due Friday. You will be receiving a mark for your work.

Today I invited a guest speaker, Tami, from the aboriginal education to demonstrate a talking circle. In her circle we made a list of values to which we will return to over the next six weeks. We also discussed the "so what" of what we have learned about residential schools.

It was great having Tami, who gave us a lot to think about. Thank you!

Homework: finish first draft of reflections and have them handed in by the beginning of Wednesday's class. Please share them with karawagner5@gmail.com.
