Reading Responses 

1. Are you surprised that Rob stood up to his father?  Can you relate to this moment personally when you were finally able to face your fears?

2. Is Dan the Man the type of person you would hang around with at BHJMS? describe why or why you wouldn't hang out with a guy like Dan.  Create an example to highlight your position 

3.  We have finally seen Sarah show signs of cracking as she wonders why her mom cant seem to help her now and make her feel safe.  She has seemed so confident and sure of herself until now.  Can you relate to this moment in any aspects? The idea of appearing confident and sure of yourself all the while you are cracking on the inside.  The outer shell hides the inner feelings.

This is a web site for a Grade 8 class at Donview MS.  I asked and have initiated a poetry sharing sessions.  They have posted their poems for us to read and respond with meaningful and relevant comments.  So lets visit the site, read, appreciate and respond. 

How to respond:

I liked this because…

This poem reminded me of…

This poem made me feel…

I like how you…

Things to discuss…how it stirred your senses, emotions that were tugged at, rich and powerful vocabulary 

We will organize and post our poems so that they can do the same at a later time. 

This will be a break chance to possible build and interact on a greater level with peers not bound by the geography of our school.  make the best of this and hopefully it blossoms into something more meaningful.
