Think in Biblical terms - what does the Bible mean when it says that we are all ONE? Does it mean one person?]]> 2020-03-22 20:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470035545 MRS MACKIE https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470045561 Read Kaitlyn's answer to Q1]]> 2020-03-22 20:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470045561 MRS MACKIE Q2 - Have a read of all the answers in this column - is there a common idea (eg: are MOST of us thinking about the same meaning for the metaphor?) https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470055374

Do you think this is what the author is saying?]]> 2020-03-22 20:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470059404 MRS MACKIE https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470062287 Q4 - This question has been answered well. This is the strongest class wide answer so far. I am really pleased to see you making connections BEYOND the words of the poem (eg: that it was written during WW2 when rationing was in place) from your own background knowledge, in order to explain the meaning. It is great that you have seen the need as food in general, not just bread - nice going :)]]> 2020-03-22 20:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470062287 MRS MACKIE https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470069850 Q6 - I am loving the thinking in Jasmine's answer. The answer is also STRUCTURED (put together) very well. However, I would ask you to think about whether it is the NATION the author is thinking of or someone 'closer to home']]> 2020-03-22 21:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingVirus/sfegldxkhv3p/wish/470069850
