All-Excusing Humor Jan. 29

WRITTEN PORTFOLIO
Students worked on the prewriting for their media essay. They received a handout with a sample hierarchical outline.

CORE
Bellwrite #44: What is humor? Is it good or bad?

After discussing the bellwrite, we read together Screwtape Letter #11. We explored C.S. Lewis's thoughts on how humor is used to excuse bad behavior, to eliminate shame.

I began sharing a presentation on World War I. We discussed the militarism and alliances which took shape in the build up to the war.

HW
  • If you haven't yet finished the vocabulary exercises for Screwtape Letters 10-12, please spend at least 20 minutes working on it tonight.
  • Angel Letter #3 due tomorrow. (Please make sure to label it at the top of the page, so I know which letter it is.)
  • Media essay prewriting and outline due Monday.
