You are living through a time that will go down in history.

Tell them how much you appreciate them going out and doing their job, risking getting sick, to help us all. | How would you like to see this school year end? It was cut short so abruptly, write about what you think would be a perfect ending to the year. |
How did the new yellow stage guidelines presently by Premier Higgs change your and/or your family’s life? Does having more businesses open up and being able to gather in groups of under 50 changed your way of life. Write about it. | COMMONLIT READINGS Discuss how the two readings this week explore different aspects of a person’s identity. Why does Amy try to hide parts of her identity? Why do you think the speaker in “Underface” presents a certain identity to the world? Do you think the characters are disadvantaged if they choose to hide parts of who they are? | Have you seen any really memorable online musical performances? Write about the one that sticks out in your mind and why. |
What are you looking most forward to this summer? Write about it. Is this an activity that may be unavailable to you because of the pandemic. | Do you have a favourite spot in your house or yard? Write to explain it, how you feel when you are there and why it is special for you. | It looks like the travel within NB will be our only option for a while. Search Tourism NB’s website and choose a place that you would like to visit and write about it. Explain why you chose it, how long it would take to get there and who would you like to travel with. |
