I reviewed my PB&J cards with everyone today. I even sent you all a picture of them!

We took a group quiz – the wergild quiz. Sadly, no one even asked me what wergild meant! I’ll have to teach that to you tomorrow.

The quiz is open group, open note, open poster. The only thing is that I’m asking you not to do is use the Internet to find your answers. If you don’t like your grade, you can go back and retake it using the internet for full credit. I just want to see what you can do with the material that was used in school.

Fate Free Will

With the Quote Sort, You need to find the definition of Fate and Free Will. Then, move each quote over to column that you think it fits under. I promise that this is harder than it looks. There are some quotes that will make your brain hurt. This is why I encourage you to talk them out with your table buddies. Just because a quote has the word FATE in it doesn’t mean it belongs in the FATE column.

I also had all grades updated today, so if there is something that I need to fix, send me an e-mail!

We reviewed MY Peanut Butter Jelly Time pictures! I told you that if I expect YOU to do the assignment, I’ve done it myself. Remember, the more that you hear the information and the more ways that you see it presented, the more likely that you’ll actually LEARN it!

Then, we took a group quiz. You were supposed to work WITH your group to answer those questions. You can take this quiz as many times as you need to and it’s open *everything*. The only thing that I ask is that the first time you take the quiz, please abstain from looking up answers on the internet. Why? I want to see how well you can get the correct answers with the material that we did in class. Not only am I assessing you on how well you learned, I’m assessing the effectiveness of my teaching and the assignments. The last question is over your group work. I really do read these answers – they help me. You can totally scold me for not having taught the Old English/English/Latin bit before we tested. That was totally my fault. Bad Riley.

Lastely, we did a Quote Sort. I gave you a list of quotes about fate and free will.

fate.free willFirst, find a definition of free will and fatalism that makes sense to you. Put it in the chart. Then, read through the quotes and drag them to the column where you think it belongs. This isn’t a hard activity, but it makes your brain hurt from thinking. REMINDER: just because the quote uses the word FATE doesn’t mean it’s an examples of fatalism. Some of these don’t have a correct answer, so don’t freak out if you and a buddy from class think differently about a quote.
