First off, a very special CONGRATULATIONS to teacher Amber and the whole Keener family on the birth of their new baby boy, Steele, born early Sunday morning. We can't wait to meet him! Get lots of rest, teacher Amber, and enjoy your break!
Thanks to Ethan and Gabe for the informative--and entertaining--presentations this week! Gabe's was, in particular, appropriately gory; just in time for Halloween!
This week's opinion paper assignment is "What is more important, your country or your family?"
Think hard on this one...you may surprise yourself!
We'll look forward to hearing presentations from Micah, on Life as a Prisoner and Prisons of the Colonial era, and from Gabe, on Francis Marion a.k.a. the Swamp Fox. I'm really excited to hear what you guys have learned, and to learn something new myself!
Please, everyone, remember to COMPLETELY fill out your presentation evaluation forms for each presenter. No one gets a grade for their presentation, so your comments help them to know what they did well, and what areas they need to improve upon. You are all helping each other be better presenters by giving good feedback.
Pay attention to the news and current events of the world, and listen for any stories or topics that are relevant to what we are learning and that you can share during our morning devotional.
One last thing: remember that our class goal is to have through the Statement of "Prudence" of the Declaration of Independence (DoI) memorized by November 12th. Let's work hard on this so we can show off for teacher Amber when she comes back!
See you Thursday, and Happy Studying!
