Good morning, everyone.
We’ll get started at 8:30.
Today’s agenda:
1. JP Ch6
2. Quiz- sentence combining
3. HW Read JP Ch7, make notes
Tomorrow: Paragraph on Jade Peony with quoted material
Registration begins today.
Email from the school.
November classes will be online, same as September.
I don’t know what I’m teaching yet. I will let you know as soon as I know.
CHOICE:
English 12 – poetry, short stories, novel, noin-fiction
English First Peoples 12 - poetry, short stories, novel, noin-fiction –
focused on stories and issues and history of Indigenous People- ways of knowing, culture, history, traditions
- in Canada and BC, big push to increase education about First Nations
- class is example of that change in curriculum
English FP 12 – same credit as Eng 12, good for college, university
If I was a high school student now, I would take English First Peoples 12
Your decision.
The Jade Peony is a novel for English speaker, not an easy ESL book
- if you can read this and understand it, that’s a big accomplishment
My experience: Reading is great pleasure. It brings a lot of enjoyment to my life. Some people are readers. Are you a reader?
Reading is the most entertainment for my time and energy put in.
30m reading, much more fun than 30m of TV
Watching TV is ok for listening, but it is passive, not active, you are not doing anything
- best listening practice – has to be social
speaking and listening – listening to the news, talking about it with others
- back and forth of conversation – very challenging and the #1 way to get better
MY FREE ADVICE #12: If you want to be good at English, get an English-speaking boyfriend or girlfriend. You will be fluent in six months.

-explosion of emotion from Jung Sum
“Bah-Bah, don’t hit me” p131 – reliving that experience, experiencing those emotions again, emotions that he has never processed, never dealt with
EXPERIENCED A LOT OF TRAUMA IN HIS LIFE – damage, pain, insult, loss
NEVER ADDRESSED THE EMOTIONS – “never cry”
He experiences all of these feelings at once- anger, crying, sick,
-too much emotion inside affects your body
The Body Keeps the Score – physical manifestation of emotional turmoil

“So where the fuck’s my knife, Champ” p132

Frank does not know about this!!! This is a big secret that Jung Sum has to keep. He will be worried about it.
Frank will have a lot of friendly affection for JS.
- Frank and Jung Sum have similarities in their pasts
Poh-poh is very wise! - she knew, didn’t judge, loves her grandson
