#Beltran#7thPeriod

Dear APES,

If you are reading this and you are not in 7th period, please bring a quote regarding the rise of consumer consumption of organic potatoes.  You don't have to type it - just jot it down.

If you are in 7th period, bring your crafts.  The question is to debate or not to debate.  And the answer is...............assembly tomorrow.  Majority rules.  See ya in the PAC.  Debate for periods 6 and 7 will be on Thursday.

TUCKER RULES.

Argument

FIVE DAYS UNTIL BREAK!!!  Woot woot.

Sorry.  Here's the scoop:

Today in class you were presented with the video debate between William Lane Craig and Sam Harris at The University of Notre Dame (you can find it on youtube to watch the whole thing).  Your job is to watch the debate - as little or as much of it as you choose - and come to class Wednesday with your position.  Do you defend, challenge of qualify the topic:  "Are the foundations of moral values natural or supernatural?"  In other words. "Does good come from God?".  

Your job is to gather evidence to support your position and be prepared to argue your views in class.

****PLEASE NOTE that I am NOT participating in the debate, and my personal views WILL NOT BE SHARED.  I'm simply the facilitator of the argument.

Remember that you should support your position with appropriate evidence from your
1) reading,
2) observations,
3) or experience.

Divorce emotion from this and lead with a cool, calm, collected mind.  Maintain your credibility and support your case.

EXCITED!!!!

xoxo

P.S. - TED Talks tomorrow as usual but I'll show a couple to help your brain

New Brain Drain Categories

I'll be out tomorrow, lovelies, and you know why.  :)

So, enjoy the TED Talk and some time to independently read if you want to feed your brain...

For Wednesday, prepare yourself for another round of Brain Drain.  New categories in addition to the old ones from last week are below:

Book Titles That Start with M
Supreme Court Justices (Past and Present)
Major Magazine Publications

Just a few to add.  Have a great afternoon, day, moment, life!

Second Period

It's amazing to me how awesome second period did today. So impressive, and a need to publicly write that so everyone can see.  Good for you. Special shout out to CL who is rockin' and rollin' despite a booted foot.  Thanks for such a great job...

Reminder that you should positively impact the world and tweet out some of the brain food we digested today. Use every Friday to combat the ridiculousness that is out there.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll see ya Monday.
