Lesson 57

We started the block with going over Quiz #2

We talked about the timeline on which we measure history, and then briefly looked at the story of Abraham from Genesis. This is part of the introduction to world religions - specifically the monotheistic, Abrahamic religions mentioned on the opening page of the package. 

If looking for work to do, students are welcome to complete the "conflicts" section of the package following the story.

We finished the class with the last of the in-class work time for the creation stories. Students are invited to work on those pieces in the Writing Lab, or during tutorials, but they are due on Thursday.

Students received their marked paragraphs (and corresponding outline packages). They were asked to review the rubric and comments, and then put all pieces into their binders. 

• Many students did very well in a number of areas, but have one or two key elements holding their work in a developing space. This does not mean that their writing is not good.
• Students who would like to go over the writing are invited to come to tutorials starting on Monday.
• All students are welcome to take the writing to the Writing Lab to go over points for improvement
• ***There was a consistent correlation between successful work being done and outlines having been completed.

Tomorrow we look at Abraham - the challenges he faces in the story - and move forward in the story.
