Introduction to Novel and Guest Speaker

Hi All,

Today in class we exchanged our short stories textbooks for the novel we will begin reading.  We had a brief introduction to the novel, and then a guest speaker joined our class today.  The novel focuses on a teen's struggle through a residential school as well as a "white school," and our guest speaker gave us some insight into the truth of residential schools in Canada and abroad.

No handouts today.

Please do your best to not start reading the novel this weekend (as hard as this is for some of you).  I would like to begin reading it together on Monday so that we can discuss some of the initial plot points.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Michalski
