How do you wrap up the term in a good way? What do you do in the final days of class, whether remote or in-person? What atmosphere do you try to create? 

This episode includes thoughts in response to those questions, featuring fantastic tips by Ashley Gagnon-Shaw, Jocelyne Vogt, and Catherine Nygren, as well as some ideas of my own. :) Hope you enjoy!

• Listen to Jocelyne's episode of Teachin' Books, on Harold Cardinal's "A Canadian What the Hell It's All About," and Catherine's episode on The Stanley Parable.
• If you're not familiar, here's the Hedbanz game that Jocelyne refers to in her tip!
• Read one version of Marianne Moore's poem "Poetry."
• Resources on the Unessay Catherine uses in her classes: Daniel Paul O'Donnell / Emily Suzanne Clark / Marc Kissel / Ryan Cordell / Andrew Gilreath-Brown
• If you're curious about which song won out for the one-song-long, end-of-year dance party... :)
• Here is the article by Maia Herriot on Saskatchewan's overdose crisis and the CTV news piece (by Stefanie Davis) from January 2021 with statistics about overdoses in Saskatchewan in 2020.
• Donate to Prairie Harm Reduction or write a letter in support of more funding for their safe consumption site.
