Sophomores - Horton / Seniors - Writing Time

Hello Students!

Work Hard. Play Hard. As we wrap up our third week together - are you satisfied with your effort, improvement, and participation? The only authentic answer can come from you.

Our classroom is merely a vehicle to improve as a critical thinker and a participatory member of a community.  Do your part.

Sophomores - Expository/Argument Continued
Pivotal Underlying Questions:
1. When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye?
2. How do you find out what you love? How do you know it's what you should do with your life?
3. Happy Accidents.  What has happened to you that at first seemed "bad/unlucky" but in hindsight turned out to be rather fortunate?
4. What is wrong with the world and what can I do help make it better?
5. To be (to live) or not to be (to not live) - that is the question.
6. How do you turn your hurt/fear into art/creative expression?
7. Is it important to have faith in something greater than yourself or our world? Does this make life easier for some?  More difficult? (Horton)
