Today we:
- Discussed what history is and how it is difficult to get a clear picture of the past out of context.
- Created namecards (hold on to these for future extra credit opportunities).
- Discussed the virtues & challenges of being able to fly or turn invisible
- Segued into Plato's "Ring of Gyges" (part of the homework due Wednesday)
A piece of your first assignment is to download the syllabus, print it (double-sided would be fabulous so we can save paper), read it, & have a parent or guardian read & sign it as well. Bring this signed syllabus to our next class & turn it in as part of your homework.
The other piece of your homework is to read Plato's "Ring of Gyges" & answer the questions I have included. If you misplaced the copy I handed out in class, you can find it through the link below. You're going to love it!
We're going have a great 12 weeks together, and I'm excited to see our growth & cohesion develop as a class!
