1) Meet the Creature. (Quick tour of dailyenglish12)2a) If you teach, you learn. Get up. Stand at the front of the class. We need to break down the barriers fast. Pick one word that represents you. Tell me that one word (and tell me your name while you're at it). Yup, I'm writing them down.
2b) I am a Paradox. So are you. This time tell me the truth....up, up up!
3) The Epic Outline. (Ummmm... what's an epic anyway?)
4) What Dallas Green Said and why the heck should you take English 12, anyway? - A story about how I became "friends" with Grant Lawrence (of cbc radio3 fame). No - not real friends... Twitter followers.
(Don't you love the irony of watching a badly recorded live version of this song?)
5) First Writing Sample - watch Body in Box with me. Write down what you hear. What on Earth do these lyrics have to do with this class, with me, with you?
Writing Topic: It is given that the world is complicated, that you are not going to be here forever, so what are you here for? Tell me what you want to do in this world, in this life?
Due: tomorrow. 200-300 words.
6) Info please! Netbooks to fill in spreadsheet.
It is an honour to teach you in this last year of high school. You are almost free!
In June 2012 you will be born into the world... let's get you ready! (Baby analogy - goo, goo, ga, ga)
(Hey! This lesson got mentioned on CBC radio3: http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2012/1/K-OS-Concert-Today-Plus-Trivia-Challenge)
