Jan 6, 2024

 Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

EFP10

  • Checking in
  • Recapping where we've been, and where we're going
    • Who is still missing work
    • Important deadlines for all missing and redone work:
      • Jan 20 is the soft deadline (this means I will be annoyed by anything after this day, and considering English is a subjective course, annoying your marker is unwise)
      • Jan 24 is the hard deadline (this means I cannot promise anything after this day will count towards your mark)
      • Jan 28th at 10am is the extreme deadline (I'm literally going on leave the morning after, so please don't do this)
  • Distributing in-class paragraphs (remember those?)
    • Right to challenge
    • Right to redo
      • In this case, you'd have to start from scratch
  • Introducing the counternarrative project
    • My own history with counternarratives
    • Details on the assignment
  • Wheel of Privilege and Power
    • What do you notice?
    • What's missing and/or wrong?
  • Consider the Endgame poster
    • What do you notice?
    • How might this be rearranged?
  • Brainstorm:
    • What are some Master Narratives and counternarratives that you might know?
  • Freewrite: Initial thoughts
  • Tomorrow, we'll consider how these ideas apply to Pocahontas 
Eng 8
  • Checking in
  • Recapping where we've been, and where we're going
  • Introducing the Advertisement assignment
    • Early brainstorm - what do you want to do?

  • Persuasive Techniques - side two

  • Homework by Wednesday:
    • Find any ad, video or image (can be a screenshot), and identify a persuasive technique. Be prepared to show me your response.
