Aim: How do we analyze the Credo assignment?

Journal Prompt #6: "Core Belief or Value"
Write at least one well-organized paragraph explaining a core belief or value that is important to you and why.

Today we will distribute the first Credo assignment, rubric and worksheet. If you missed class, you will be able to download the documents from Engrade.

As you contemplate the topic of your first of two Credos, consider these critical questions:

• What are the values and beliefs I feel strongly about and why?
• How do I live my life guided by these values and beliefs?
• How did I arrive at my beliefs?
• How do I effectively express/explain/persuade readers about my beliefs?
