We learned about the commonly confused words effect (typically used as a noun) and affect (verb). We practiced diagramming sample sentences that use these words.

Bellwrite #54: What is property? What is stewardship?
Students used the Webster's 1828 dictionary to help them with this bellwrite. A few ideas that were discussed include the following:
- Property means you have exclusive rights to possess, enjoy, and distribute/dispose of a thing.
- Property is exclusive with regards to other men, but not to God, for all things are truly His property.
- God may, and does, require us to use property to bless other men.
- Stewardship is the authorized possession, enjoyment, and distribution of God's property.
- Faithful stewardship is rewarded with expanded stewardship.
- The most sacred of all property is conscience, which is obeyed with our properties of time and bodies.
- If we understand that we are but stewards of time, we will not feel imposed on when God asks us to use time to serve Him and His children.
Each student selected a passage from Screwtape Letter 21 to memorize. Please select something that is personally valuable.
Class A took a quiz on the history of demographics.
I read the picture book, "The Story of Babar the Little Elephant," to the class. The author, Jean de Brunhoff, lived in France during the age of New Imperialism. We discussed how the book may be an allegory of imperialism.
Homework:
