PICTURE+TIME

Hello gentlemen, April 28, 2010

How are you fine young lads doing today? I have a fun and interesting topic to introduce.

My goal is for you to “go deep” into your reflections and connect on a different level. The route I would like to go is by the use of pictures. You can either use one off the __internet__ or you can bring one from __home__ (email it to yourself as an attachment).

What I would like to see is the following below. Here is one example that I have come up with, that I hope helps guide you along.

This is for bonus marks, however I think it is a lot of fun and you can share something with your classmates that they might not know about you. Remember, we are in a safe classroom and any views you have will be received with respect, if you deliver with respect.

Here is my example :

This picture above is one with my ball hockey team in University when we won the championship. We went to battle every Tuesday night for 8 grueling months, never to succumb to another team. Undefeated all year long. This memory helped me make a connection to __The Hunger Games__, when all the districts/teams were sent on a mission against each other. Being part of a team is exhilarating and intense. You have numerous amounts of people ready to stick up for you at the drop of a hat, or an apple in the case of Katniss. At any moment, what your perceive to be the world can change around you. Whether it is the ball going into your net and your team has been eliminated, or an apple drops from a tree from a piercing arrow, and your friend and teammate has been removed from life and the hunger games…… This is just a quick start that I have made. As you can see, I have taken something from my personal life, displayed it as a visual picture and discussed my connection. This can easily be done at home or during class if you are all caught up. I know every single one of you has a story to tell and I am excited to hear it. Have fun gentlemen. Mr. Page
