Tuesday, Tuesday, TUESDAY!

We started off by going to the King James Bible section of BB and downloaded the King James Bible Background and highlighted pertinent information. If you missed, please get the notes from someone in class.

This is NOT a religion class: it’s a Bible as Literature – it looks at the stories in a secular manner. Make sure you answer all three questions!

Lastly, we start the Seven Deadly Sins of ____. You choose the topic!

Today, we honed our persuasive skills by writing a letter to Mrs. Ekster asking her to allow someone to teach the Bible as Literature class at Vistas.

There is a pre-writing activity in LMS that you will print out and complete before writing your letter. Rather than persuade with ethos or pathos, we will focus on logos, which is logic. That means you need to have logical reasons why this class should be offered here. You may need to use the internet to help you organize your ideas, In fact, I heartily recommend it!

One thing that I want to remind you of is that a Bible as Literature class is NOT the same thing as a religion class. We cannot teach religion classes in a public school, so if you try to use religion as a reason why we need to allow a Bible class as an elective, that wouldn’t be appropriate.

The pre-writing is due today; – the paper is due on Friday.

We started out today with a discussion board about where we find wisdom. Make sure that you list ONE place or person where you find wisdom. Read your classmates, and rate them on how helpful they are.

WE then read the Article Bible as Literature and and answered the Discussion Board questions: Bible as Literature. Only three questions – pretty simple.

As of right now, 7 students would take a Bible as Literature class here at Vistas; * would pass it. Pair has two votes to teach the class, Schinderling has 1 vote to teach it, Riley has1 vote, and Gonzalez has one vote.

We read the King James Background. Get the notes from a classmate.

We read Ecclesiastes  3:1 and listened to the song Turn, Turn, Turn. Get the notes from a classmate.
