In English today we had a discussion around stereotypes. We discussed how teenagers are viewed by adults and also how teenagers stereotype each other. It was an enthusiastic discussion. We then looked at a short clip called, I'm not the Indian you had in mind (link is here), and discussed how First Nations have been stereotyped. This lead into a discussion on empathy and the importance of being empathetic as we listen to this novel and hear the atrocities that took place at residential school.
We then read chapters 8-10. Chapter 10 ended with the death of, Naomi, Saul's grandmother and the beginning of his residential school experience.
We ended with discussion questions on the chapters 7.
There is no homework.
