Tell Me More!

You completed a packet for Ch. 7 today (hopefully after reading each section as well). When finished, you have to come up with a 2-3 sentence (or 3-4 line) explaining WHAT you learned or WHY this information is important. When looking at all four statements, summarize the entire packet into 2-3 sentences doing the same thing. What was/is the purpose of the lesson?

So, I came across another video today...does it compare to the SW production? I doubt it.

100th Post!

We did a ROMOTHINK today:
From the NEWS: A 13-year old boy has Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer that has a 90% survivability rate using traditional methods (radiation and chemo). His parents have recently lost a court case after choosing to follow alternative methods in seeking a cure. Knowing that the STATE serves the people, while also acknowledging that people need protection, do you believe the parents should be allowed to treat their son using alternative methods? Or should they be forced to follow what doctors (at the Mayo Clinic) prescribe?

We will "correct" the Guns, Germs, & Steel work tomorrow and follow up today's conversation with a connection to Abortion. Also tomorrow - some BBB that will be due Friday.
