Welcome to English 10!!!
It's nice to see familiar faces again!
Today we went through our Course Outline, which you can bring home for your parents to look over. As an introduction, we discussed the importance of studying literature and the meaning of 'themes'. I related themes to the modern idea of hashtags (we watched a Jimmy Fallon clip as an example). As an activity, students circulated around the classroom to write examples on chart paper of some common themes we look at in English 10: oppression, conformity, power conflict, and justice.
Also, we started a writing assignment; I'll allot more time for this tomorrow.
