Go to the web address below and scroll to the bottom of the page. There you will find sections on Greek mythology, heroes, and stories. Choose any two names or topics each day and write a brief description detailing the main points of each essay. Then express your opinion telling me what interested you most. Finally, at some point during the week,using the second link, read the account of the Battle of Gettysburg by teenager and eyewitness Tillie Pierce, and in light of most of you having been there yourself recently, describe your feelings about her account.

In view of our discussion in class today of the influence of humanism, I was interested to see two articles on the front page of The Washington Times this morning - one is about the rise of homeschooling...In this article note CAREFULLY the opinion of the NEA, the National Education Association...very interesting...The other is about former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the role of faith in his life and politics and the OPINION of the British society at large regarding people of faith...Read these articles at some point this week and give me your impressions in a BRIEF paragraph....Have a great week and remember, let your faith go deep into your SOLE (soul) and into the very PIT of your being... : )
