Wednesday, November 9

Classwork

  • Listened to the lecture on the Underground Railroad.
    • Reviewed vocabulary homework (pp. 165-166) from last night.
    • Completed Ex. A, Guessing the Meaning from Context, pp. 166-167. (You can find this recording in the Listening folder for Chapter 5 as Lecture Guessing Vocab in Context Pg. 166 A.) 
    • Listened twice to Section 1 of the lecture on the Underground Railroad. First, we listened for the main ideas. Second, we listened for details. (You can find this recording in the Listening folder for Chapter 5 as Lecture Section 1 Pg. 167 & 169 B & E.)
  • Previewed the organization of the videos for tonight's homework. For "The Story of Human Rights," use a timeline. For "Human Rights," use an outline with categories for the questions or the categories of human rights.

Homework

  • Brainstorm the debate topic below that you were assigned:
    • Do you believe that people have natural rights and that it is a crime to deprive them of these rights? Why or why not? If you answered yes, what do you believe these natural rights are? 
    • If a goal is just, is it right to use violence to achieve it?
  • Under "Chapter 5" in the column to the right, you see two links: "Human Rights" and "The Story of Human Rights." Choose one of these videos, watch it, and take notes. Practice organizing your notes clearly.
