Intro to Islamic Extremism Sept. 16

Writing Portfolio
We continued to work on writing effective body paragraphs for 5 paragraph essays. We worked on being consistent with plurals and singulars within a sentence, being logically consistent within a paragraph, using appropriate academic voice, and ensuring that supporting evidence use appropriate details.

Homework:
Please write effective body paragraphs supporting each of the following claims:

1.       Uniforms do not inhibit individuality; rather, they actually accentuate true individuality.

2.       Uniforms limit students’ freedom of expression denying American students the opportunity to practice responsibly exercising their Constitutional right to free speech.


Core
No bellwrite.

Students took a reading quiz on part 1 of The Chosen. The quiz evaluates students' reading completion, approach, comprehension, and analysis.

Students wrote responses to the following questions about the article "An LDS Perspective on Muhammad":
  1. Summarize in your own words the quotation by Orson F. Whitney.
  2. Comment on the quotation by B.H. Roberts.
  3. What truths and values do Latter-day Saints share with Muslims?
  4. What are some significant differences in their doctrinal beliefs?
Students also read "Understanding Islamic Extremism" article and took two-column notes (questions and answers) in preparation for a quiz.

I finished giving individual feedback on State of the World Projects. Revised projects can be turned in through this Friday. When turning in a revision, a student should fill out the second rubric at the bottom of the one I completed and attach it to the project.

Homework:
Finish in-class work. Revise projects if needed.
