Test day and Dancing Man

Today we wrote our first big test.

In the second half we learned the words benevolence and malevolence and discussed how the internet can be used in benevolent ways.  For example, we looked at the phenomenon of @DancingMan that just happened this week.  We read this article about it http://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/best-party-ever-to-be-held-for-man-mocked-online-for-dancing-1.2268855

Then we focussed on love by looking at the famous photograph "Kiss at City Hall" which is in our Sightlines book.  We discussed the image, its apparent sponteneity, and some of the themes of the photograph.  Finally we read the article "Breaking the Ice" and discussed the use of humour.
