Once again, for the first part of this week we have been working on our novel studies, reading further into them, discussing them with our literature groups and reflecting in our reading logs. At this point, 5 reading logs should have been completed.

The second part of this week, we took a look at our future selves, and the question of "Who do we hope to become?" To inspire our reflections, we studied the Tennyson poem, "Ulysses". We had a few questions to help guide us through this complex piece of writing, and then we used our skills of visualization to create a collage of the imagery that we see when we read through Tennyson's work. 

For the first part of this week we have been working on our novel studies, reading further into them, discussing them with our literature groups and reflecting in our reading logs. At this point, 4 logs should have been completed.

Over the second half of this week, we used the memoir "Old Friends" to reflect on the question, "How do others see me?". After reading through the text together, we discussed the ways in which we have created limited definitions of others in the past, and reflected on how similar limited definitions may exist of ourselves. We worked our memories and our creativity to create some snapshots similar to those that we read in "Old Friends".
