Students started the block by reading their personal novels - those who take 10-15 minutes just to begin reading, or cannot do so without constant external monitoring should ask themselves why that is...what's going on for you? What are you missing out on by not reading? Do you have challenges with focus that you can do some work on?
We then looked over the feedback on their "Barney" questions, and students noted the top 3 things to work on, on a separate sheet of paper (this will be of use in the near future).
We discussed the pro/con technology lists from last class.
We began reading "The Veldt" - all students should be up to the middle of page 123 before our next class together and should have highlighted or starred anything that looks like evidence of a futuristic setting, or technology impacting the relationships between the family members.
Students are reminded that they are expected to attend tutorials in advance of any predictable absence. This is especially the case for sport-related activities and vacations.
