Assignment: Read one of the articles attached in the document below and fill out one row of the "Jigsaw note catcher." Then, in a group of three, compare the articles you choose and then rank the evidence between most relevant and least relevant if you were writing a research article about the US accepting Syrian refugees.
Discussed three categories of laws: laws that protect citizens, laws that legislate moral issues, and laws that do both.
Assignment Freewrite ~1 page Considering our discussion about state legislated morality, write about whether you think should the government should or should not legislate moral issues and to what extent. Theorize the repercussions of your decision. Finish Act 2 of the crucible. Review of Act 1 ANALYZE: What role, or roles, does Abigail play in inciting the group hysteria that Act 1 ends with? Read the first half of Act 2 in The Crucible. Began talking about government based legislation of morality. Will finish tomorrow. NOTE: If you ever miss a day in class where we read, be sure to make the reading. My suggestion would be to search Youtube for the corresponding act and listen to it. Act 1 audio 0:00-33:00 Act 2 audio 33:00-59:47 Act 3 audio 59:47-1:30:19 Act 4 audio 1:30:20-1:58:00 Discussed McCarthyism, the Cold War, and it's connection to The Crucible. Begin reading Act 1 in The Crucible. If you need to read outside of class here is an online version. It's not a great online version, but it works. |
