Reflection on SSM Debate

Team Soc,

Yesterday's debate was engaging and challenging. I hope you enjoyed it. And more importantly, I hope you think more about the arguments put forward by both sides.

On Monday we will allow for a little more time to debate and provide closing statements. And then I will chime in with some of my thoughts about the debate and the topic.

Tuesday we will start personally reflecting on the topic in order to submit a final thoughtful response to the larger topic.

May God give us wisdom!

Easter Vacation

Team Soc,

I hope you are enjoying your Easter vacation! The weather is warm and it is prime time to get outside and recharge before our final push to the end of the year.

A couple things to note:

  • Your grades are posted. For any seniors with senioritis all is not well in gradeland. Turn your work in!
  • You will be given Tuesday (the day we return to school) in class to finish your fact sheet and argument. The argument must be robust and be able to withstand a withering critique by the team that provides your rebuttal.
  • Keep your eyes open this break. There is much to see. You will have three observations due on the Wednesday we return (April 23).

Weekend Reminder

Team Soc,

I do not know if you can hear the "Same Love" hook going through your head, but I know I can. And when I hear it, it makes me think. I hope the same for you.

This week we will be diving deeper into the same sex attraction and same sex marriage discussion. As we share our survey with others, it will be good to get their voice involved in the discussion.
