Students handed in their Meditation XVII assignments.

God spoke to Mr. Pfeiffer last night and told him to make up a seating plan. Not one to defy the great creator, Mr. P assigned seats.

We then discussed Buffy St. Marie's graphic piece from Sightlines entitled "Self-Portrait". Students learned that her self-portrait was rich in meaning, and that pictures or photos can be interpreted. Buffy's portrait suggests that she is a defensive and vulnerable person, perhaps because of some of the prejudice she has had to endure as an aboriginal Canadian.

As a class, we sort of performed the skit "This is a Test".

We reviewed the myth last day and completed 7 questions -- students handed this in already. Click here for the questions.
