Today's Lesson: Update from the State of Massachusetts on Learning during this crisis.
Hello my friends,
The State of Massachusetts has set guidelines about our learning experiences. At the time of this posting, there will be:
- No directed curriculum
- No deadlines
- No graded assignments
- Please disregard all due dates and work from Friday, March 13th. Do not stress out about your grades, etc. If you would like to complete work, I will accept it, but no one should feel obligated in any way to do work while we are out.
- Having said that, I will provide resources that have been developed by myself and other members of the English Department on a weekly basis for you to choose from and do if you wish to keep learning and active.
- For my part, I still want to stay connected with all of you and will continue to post my videos with a "Poem of the Day," sharing some kind of literary experience with all of you. Again, this is voluntary.
- We are allowed to finish Ghosts, as we discussed, so we can have closure. If you want to read An Enemy of the People, for example, that can be an option, but no one should feel it is expected or that we will do it when we get back, it will be graded, etc. Again, this is voluntary. We can still have experiences, but they will be more individually based.
Best always,
Mr. P.

ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. P! Love the extra work you’re putting in to make this time feel a little more normal:) hope you and your family are hanging in there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, so much! We're okay. I hope you and your family are well, too. I am hoping to do some painting this weekend. Hope you are finding time for creative outlets, too. ;)
DeleteThank you so much! I'm so happy to keep doing the blogs, I need some normal. That poem articulated something that I think about a lot. I think one way to deal with that "guilt" or "blame" is to act as you wish your ancestors would have acted. You are not out of chances to be a good person. I really hope you are doing well and having some fun with your family! How is your son? Also I'm up for reading the next book of Ibsen's if anyone wants to do a little book group with me. I'm also reading "Beloved" by Toni Morrison right now if anyone wants to read that with me and do a book group about that. See you soon!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the blogs are helping. I love that novel, Leah. Let me know of you want to chat about "Beloved." I have read it and taught it many times. ;)
