BOMB SHELTER ACTIVITY

ETHICAL PEEPS...

On an A4/F12/DS/TNR, explain well who you think should be the five individuals you might actually save in the Bombshelter if the decision was all yours (The Activity Sheet is on EDLINE). You have had enough discussions and analysis time with other people...now it falls on your lap...YOU DECIDE YOURSELF! Make sure you give your clear and logical reasons for each of your choice. Explain where you base your decisions on...personal agenda or values and morals?! Who lives and who dies...?! The choice is yours...think well and good luck! CIAO!!!

TO ALL MY ETHICAL PEEPS...

GREETINGS!

Please respond to the following in relation to our recent movie "The Kite Runner". Copy the question and answer on A4/F12/DS/TNR. No less than a page and a half long please...and no need to post responses here. Thank you.


Amir’s confrontation with Assef in Wazir Akar Khan marks an important turning point in the story. Why does the author have Amir, Assef, and Sohrab all come together in this way? What is the significance of the scar that Amir develops as a result of the confrontation? Why is this important in Amir’s journey toward forgiveness and acceptance?


That's All Folks! Think in terms of what we discussed in class and what we came up with in relation to the moral and ethical issues presented within the story. I want this in to me on Monday, 18 October 2011...as soon as you enter my class...or whenever it is we meet again after this Octobet Break! If it's not on my table by the time the second bell rings, then you have no homework. Make sure to PRINT IT OUT BEFORE MY CLASS! CIAO!!!

TO ALL MY ETHICAL PEEPS

GREETINGS!

I have a number of QUARTER BREAK HOMEWORK/ASSIGNMENTS for you to work on given the 9 days you are going to "miss" seeing me and/or “miss” being in my class.

FIRST…you have the entire Quarter Break to read, understand, and finish Chapter 2 of our text, Moral Reasoning, pages 32-74…take notes while you read so that you will not forget and waste your time…I am going to immediately give you another Check-Up Quiz on the second part of the chapter upon our return from the break…!

SECOND…make sure to jot down in your Ethics notebook and understand its meanings, all the Vocabulary Terms from the Second Chapter; usually, these are the words that are highlighted and in bold print. Since not all of you did this before when we took up Chapter 1, I am now compelled to check your notebook for your homework on this…!

THIRD…do the following Exercises in your NB: # 2 (page 36); #2 (page 40); #5 (page 48); and #1 (page 66)…!

FOURTH...find any Ethical Issue from the newspaper or online news and print it out or copy it down. Read it very well and make sure you understand it as well. Then, on an A4/F12/DS/TNR, write a reaction-reflection on the issue by stating your personal points regarding it. The catch here is that you have to take a stand on the topic...whether you are for it or against it! You have to use no less than two ideas from either Chapters 1 and 2 of our text to further support your views on the issue...!

LASTLY… on Friday, 14 October 2011, I am going to post a blog for you to respond to. You will have the whole day of Friday and the whole day of Saturday, 15 October 2011, to post your responses. I am going to close that blog on the evening of Saturday between 7:00PM to 11:59PM…!

That’s All Folks! Have a Safe and Wonderful Quarter Break and come back refreshed and ready to Rock-N-Roll for the Second Quarter. Be good, be ethical, and get all your homework/assignments out of the way as soon as possible so that you can enjoy your break to the max…CIAO!!!

Mr. A
