Williams is most often associated with Imagist poets, whose poetry described everyday objects and happenings. Though Jack isn’t entirely sold on the merits of William Carlos Williams’s famous poem “The Red Wheelbarrow,” critics of Love That Dog have noted that Love That Dog itself is written in a style very reminiscent of Williams’s. Instead, Love That Dog serves as a primer on important 20th-century poets, with “The Tyger” by William Blake a notable exception (Blake is often grouped with Romantic poets and published “The Tyger” in his 1794 poetry collection, Songs of Innocence and Experience). This should be a comfortable space for students to share their thoughts and ideas.Jack offers few clues as to when or where exactly he lives (and he shares nothing about what’s going on in his wider world), but the way he mentions learning to type and use the computer suggest the novel takes place about the time it was written, in 2000 or 2001.

If the behavior persists, they will be removed from class and will need to watch the video for the remainder of the lesson.

If the behavior continues, they will be moved to the waiting room. I understand that students need to move around and get the wiggles out - but if that energy becomes disruptive, rude, combative or disrespectful towards another learner or myself, students will be issued a warning. I believe that all students deserve a supportive focused and welcoming learning environment. This allows for more opportunities for students to use their voice to express their thoughts. This means that students can chat with me but not to one another or the entire classroom. I will have the Zoom chat set to 'host only' for the majority of the lessons. If a student would like to ask a question, share a thought or respond to another learner, they will simply need to raise their hand, and I will unmute them as quickly as possible. I will have all students muted to prevent distractions from background noise. For everyone's safety and to allow for more engaging class discussions, students are expected to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned in such a way as to allow all participants to both hear and see them. I would like to make parents aware of the procedures as well. In our first class, I will be sharing some general classroom rules and policies. I encourage parents to read the review of the book on Common Sense Media.
