Silent When He Ought to Speak Jan. 28

Bellwrite #43: What is peer pressure? Is it usually verbal or nonverbal? Have you ever been with a group where it was not "cool" to be too good? Have you ever felt pressure to do or say things you wouldn't do or say around your parents?

We finished reading Screwtape Letter #9 (on the law of undulation). Then we discussed the bellwrite in preparation for reading Screwtape Letter #10. We noted that much peer pressure is exerted silently, almost subconsciously. Sometimes the pressure is to remain silent when we ought to speak. Students read in small groups Letter #10.

For history, students finished reading the primary source documents on Hitler's Youth and Boy Scouting. They turned in their three-column t-charts.
