Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: Students continued their prewriting for their myth writing. Students are aware that prewriting should be completed by today, so if it is not, then students will need to complete that for homework. The prewriting instructions are posted here below. Students need to come to class ready to begin drafting tomorrow.

RELIGION: Following our lesson on God's grace, we learned about sin, both Mortal and Venial sins. We learned how the knowledge of actions being wrong and the willingness to do those actions anyways are what qualify the severity of a sin.

SOCIAL STUDIES: In class we performed an exercise that divided our class into the small elite patriarch group and the larger plebeian group. Through this exercise, the patriarchs were allowed to decide the scale and scope of the task at hand. They could punish plebeians for the smallest of offenses and they would also be rewarded with relaxation and treats while the plebeians worked. This activity helped to highlight some of the challenges to the early republic and identify some of the possible solutions to these issues.
