It's a Draw/All hands in for TEAMWORK!

Logan and Morgan faced off over women's voting responsibilities and each proved a worthy opponent of the other.  Logan made it clear that if women really care about women's rights, they should vote for women.  Morgan fought back declaring that true feminism was about women having equal choices, including the choice of who to support with their vote.  WELL DONE!!  I can't wait until your next face-off.

Start researching your chosen presidential issues right now.

Morgan: abortion, education, gay marriage, health care

Logan: crime and justice, genetically modified food, immigration , marijuana

During our second hour of class, Katie gave her leadership presentation on Joan of Arc.  When asked what leadership trait Joan of Arc truly represented, Katie said it was her ability to listen to God.  What a powerful example she showed us.  She did exactly what she believed God told her to do, nothing doubting.

Would any of our country's leaders do the same?  Would WE do the same?

Next week, Merry will present on someone incredible, I can just feel we are all going to be mesmerized and have tons of feedback and questions.

Activity dates are fast approaching and we have loads of work ahead of us.  We need to spend every minute of class engaged in learning, planning, and bringing to fruition our visions.
