What's Love Got To Do With It?

Language Arts Homework due Tuesday, February 22, 2010: Students should bring in their list of five words on their Weekly Word List

Cultural Studies Homework due Tuesday, February 22, 2010: Students are to read the handout of Lesson 4. Come to class tomorrow ready to discuss ideas presented in the handout.

Language Arts Homework due Wednesday, February 23, 2010: Students should answer the questions on page 8 of the philosophy handout.


Ongoing Homework: Students should remember to read for thirty minutes each evening. Reading the assigned novel does count towards the nightly reading. Remember there are no restrictions on what you choose to read, as long as you make sure you get your assigned reading done. Please remember to record the date, the title of what you read, and how many pages you read on your Reading Journal entry form. Please turn in your entry forms on Friday, so that I can review how your reading is going. I will return them to you on Monday. I would encourage you to keep up with your reading over the weekend.

In Language Arts, we are beginning a philosophy unit using the textbook Philosophy for Teens. The students will be taking on the mantle of philosophers, and tackle age-old ideas and questions. The first question the students will discuss—What is love?

In Cultural Studies we continue to examine how the Missions functioned, and how they changed the lives of the Indians.
