Today we talked about when to be somber. We noted that when we hear of terrible events or when we are asked to behave seriously, that we often feel the urge to laugh or make jokes. We then discussed why it is important to focus on respectful and honouring behaviour when confronted with suffering and tragedy. In light of the chapters we just read, I asked that we be reflective of the lives that were lost or of those that endured unending pain in the residential schools.
We then did silent reading and worked on our chapter questions. In the novel we learn that a degree of respite arrives for Saul in the form of Father Leboutilier. He introduces Saul to hockey. Saul develops a passion for the game and an uncanny, almost supernatural gift.
Please finish the chapter questions up to chapter 15 for Mondays class.
