Charting and Presenting

Aim: How do we evaluate our group paragraphs?

Do Now: Re-assemble into your groups from yesterday. If you were not here, see me for your assignment.

Today the groups will chart and present their well-organized paragraphs on the essential questions of the Credo unit. You might want to organize your paragraphs like this:

M I strongly feel that you should follow your beliefs in life regardless of whether someone is watching what you do. E For example, I believe stealing is wrong under any circumstances. It makes no difference to me if someone takes his or her eyes away from the proverbial cash register. Even if someone were able to guarantee to me that I would never get caught or suffer consequences for stealing, it would not change my mind. A My sense of right and wrong is not influenced by consequences or what people might think of me as a person. The rightness of something has nothing to do with how many people are there to watch it.

L The true mark of an honest person is how you live your life when nobody’s watching.

Students are required to have journals by Monday.
