NEW DUE DATE/NATURE OF MAN PACKET

SENIORS: Since I was absent yesterday (flat tire) and the sub did not know how to open the Netbook cart, I am extending the due date of your completed children's book to Monday, May 4.

SOPHOMORES: You received a Nature of Man packet; in it is a variety of short readings, surveys, song lyrics, articles, etc. that should stimulate your thinking as you create your own philosophy on the nature of man.  Within the packet, we worked on Human Nature:Opinion Survey and What I Know for Sure.  In your notebook, under the title What I Know for Sure, answer the following questions:
1. What does Oprah mean when she says, "I've got on gospel music to both open and steel myself for the journey ahead"?
2. Why is it important to "pay attention"?
3. Oprah writes, "...for language is an obstacle to describing [the holocaust]." How can that be? Don't we use language to describe things?
4. What do you think is Oprah's opinion on the nature of man?
