Homework for Thursday, 9/27

We're getting a little philosophical today!

Students need to write one paragraph (5-8 sentences) answering this question: which is better - fact or faith? Students should define the word they choose, then use some examples to support their opinion. This is an opinion-based assignment, so only effort is graded, not accuracy or truth.

Vocab Word #3

Revolution: a sudden or radical change in culture or government.

Letters to Mr. Little

About 2 weeks ago, students did a little "free-write," letting me know a little bit about themselves and reflecting out their learning styles. We'll be doing this every so often, about every 2 months, and is a great way to facilitate communication between myself and the students. I get to know far more about the students then I'd ever learn in class, even those I'm close with, and students also get a chance to vent a bit.

Of course, all of this is confidential, with 2 exceptions - when somebody is in danger, or when the student is in danger. Otherwise, the student can write freely without worrying about any consequences.

Vocab Word #2

Martin Luther: Anarchist/Revolutionary who challenged the Catholic Church's practices (like indulgences); began the Reformation by doing this.
