1.1 Read About a Sense of Place

1.1I Communication Reflections - Reading, Viewing, and Listening

1. At the beginning of this unit, you were asked to think about your own communication.

You were asked:

How do you like to take-in information for learning? (reading, videos, looking at visuals, listening / podcasts, hands-on and learning T doing) Which is your least favourite?

You have now explored paragraphs (one room school, a Lemony Snicket excerpt about returning home, two points of view about a lakeside location), part of a story (Harry Potter's impression of Hogwart's), a spoken word poem by Shane Koyczan, and Suzanne Simard's description of the networked beauty of trees.

Think about which descriptions appealed to you the most. Why?

2. You learned about how to actively listen. What part of listening is easiest for you? What is difficult? How can you improve your listening skills?

Go to your Learning Guide and complete your
Communications Reflections.

If needed, review simile, metaphor, and allliteration in your Learning Guide. Then complete the "Literary Devices Quiz".
