Miss Innes has spent the past two classes exposing the students to poetry of China. On Wednesday, students read poems from the Tao Te Ching, and they worked through a set of questions about structure, devices and themes.
Yesterday, students read poems by Fred Wah, and discussed the notion of "riding the hyphen." Much of the focus of the class was on student identity, and, in particular, what it means to be Canadian. Students wrote poems about their Canadian identity, and were asked to select a poem they like to bring to class on Friday.
