The journal today was about the King James bible.  “Do we feel like the bible had  not only religious but also historical, and literary elements?”

Mrs. Riley then gave us a “Anticipation Guide”. It was a questionnaire about where we stand on learning about the bible in school. Do we feel like religion should be kept secret from school? Questions like that. We used a 1-5 scale. one being strongly disagree and five being strongly agree, also putting our reasoning for why we feel that way. As a class, Mrs. Riley asked us to move to certian areas of the room when she asked the questions outloud. The certian areas of the room were labled 1-5.  The debate was on. We all said our own opinions.

After we were done with that, we downloaded the “Teaching Religious Literature” off LMS. We read this article. No need to print to one note, or save. we just read it off LMS. Mrs. Riley talked about a “Mythology” class she had in college and how people dropped it because they thought the class was saying it was a Myth.  Mythology just means “telling a story”.  After that we talked about religious classes. Do we believe there should be religious classes should be taught in school?

We had to beat the clock at reading this… The lesson will continue tomorrow.

 

Eskter stopped talking at 1:40 today. EVERYONE WAS WRONG. 🙂
