Homework Addendum

Homework also concerns love--I know how much you love Stewart Pidd and want him to be a successful writer (smile)> Today in class we reviewed chapter 2 and in pairs and as a class looked at the essay, "Skating Rules," (32), and then listed the errors on page 33. This was homework.

We then developed paragraphs using the handy template the editors so graciously supplied. In the second class we completed all of the paragraphs, so the homework was to bring in introductions and conclusions (read to and do assignments up to page 51). Wednesday, Feb. 11, bring in a completed essay, typed for a peer review.

I might have an electronic classroom, so email it to yourself, also, just in case. There is no school Friday, Feb. 13-Monday, Feb. 16. We'll be moving right along into Coach T's Insightful Insights (53-85).

For Thursday, Feb. 12, bring in an object that represents love. You will post a commentary on the assignment and your choice by Feb. 13.

Also, for Wednesday, read the following essay by Martin King on love. We spoke in call about agape, eros and philia. Three words in the Greek language for love which have slightly different meanings.

Martin King wrote a speech about love, and said in this reflection on the term, that agape was the love closest to the kind of love God has for creation.

Here is the link for Martin King's essay. Read it and be prepared to talk about it in class on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2009: http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/publications/sermons/571117.002_Loving_Your_Enemies.html
