Here is an editorial from today's (Thursday 10/22) New York Times on exactly what we are studying!! Kids, you homework is simply to read the article and come in ready to discuss it. Remember that it is an editorial, so it has an opinon, a point of view. What is that point of view? how is it supported? What are the weaknesses of the argument?
Parents: Feel free to read the article (and to participate in class on Saturday) and to read the posts and comments below. We have used this blog as a forum to discuss ideas and questions that arise out of our readings. While you will not be able to comment on the posts (members only in this very exclusive club), you are welcome to peruse the site, and take a look at what your child and his/her classmates have contributed to the discussions.
