Reflective Learning Blog
As we approach the end of the trimester we continue to learn about various topics and information while still focusing on our main topic. This week our various topic included a lesson about "Register Switching" (also known as Code Switching). This topic involves the observation of human nature to change how we act to accommodate those around us. These Registers are divided up into 5 basic groups. One consists of being with a close friend or significant other ( Intimate). The next is taking to peers or relatives ( Casual), after that follows a formal register you use with strangers or bosses (Formal). The fourth one is a register you would use with a judge or police (Frozen). Finally is the last one that involves just passing information between one another ( Consultative). As for our main topic, we focused on how we have to develop a main question or big idea to think about and answer for our books. This is a step further from our last unit which had us choose a question from the beginning before we read. But now we are going to create our own based on what we have read about halfway through. The result of these questions will be much more vast and varying than the ones from the unit before, each will have its own twist based on the books we read. A good example of this would be that A Brave New World big question would ponder the necessity and definition of ethics in a society.
