We started our journey into Level 8 (fraud) today. Generally speaking, we are going to interpret fraud as being fake.

We went through 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 today.

8.1 – a panderer PROVIDES the sin; like a pimp. A lustful person just loses control; a seducer manipulates people.

8.2 are the suck ups. They give insincere compliments to get something. For example, let’s say that I really, really, really want new desks for my classroom (hint, hint, Mrs. Ekster!) and so after Vistas Visits, let’s I went up to Mrs. E. and told her that this was the BEST VV EVER and that I asked her for a copy of her PowerPoint because I wanted to share with with my students because it was so great. It WASN’T great – I just wanted to suck up to make her like me SO THAT I’D GET MY DESKS!

8.3 are the simoniacs. This is where Dante placed priests who took get out of Hell free cards (think the Pardoner from the Canterbury Tales), but for the purposes of the Minos Project, you can use a corrupt priest/pastor.

8.4 are the fortune tellers.

8.5 are the corrupt politicians.

Today, we wandered through Level 8 of the Inferno.

Riley discussed the next few weeks with us:

  • Friday the 18th is the deadline for students who are clapping out. If you are not passing by this time, you will not clap out. We will still do work after this date. This is not the end of the semester. This is just a deadline for a clap out video.
  • Wednesday the 23rd is the Reading Final. It is also the day when laptops will be collected. Move all of your work to your N:Drive before this date so you will be able to access your work.
  • Thursday the 24th is Senior Finals for 2nd and 3rd Block. I do not have the schedule for this yet. As soon as I know, you will know. Check my board.
  • Friday the 25th is clap out. No finals today. IF YOU ARE TAKING MY BLOCK 1 FINAL on Tuesday the 29th, DO NOT SKIP THE FINAL. Clap out is NOT Graduation. You have not earned credit for the class until after the final.
  • Tuesday the 29th – All students will take Block 1 Finals. 1/2 day
  • Wednesday the 30th – Block 2 Final
  • Thursday the 31st – Block 3 Final
