ELA 10- Equality & Responsibility

Today we discussed the Egyptian Revolution and how 'the people' are taking RESPONSIBILITY for their society and what happens in it. They are speaking and acting out against their government.

We then read John Donne's 'Meditation XVII' (No Man is an Island)which helped us to understand the interconectedness of all human beings. He tells us that what affects one affects us all.

You answered some questions in your portfolios/journals about the slam poetry and social responsibility.

To what extent are we responsible for our fellow human beings?
What did the poets say? Discuss equality, power, similarities and differences (among the poets).
