In English 12 today we discussed archetypes. Not surprising, the overwhelming vast majority of my students had never realized that archetypes appear across stories, but once we started talking about them, they began to see it. They did a really good job of finding the archetypes in Fallen Angels and Slaughter-House Five. Hopefully this will carry on with them through their lives and they will see these patterns in other stories.
In creative writing, we wrote a resignation letter to something or someone. Some students chose a relationship, others chose a job, but most of them chose to resign from high school. This was a fun assignment and they did really well with a creative resignation letter to something or someone.
