Hello,

This week we have continued to explore some of the ideas and concepts related to worldview and how we are able to express thoughts and ideas through writing.

In today in history we discussed:

Hurricane Florence- Its potential impact and some of the imagery.
Related to this is the writing of the star spangled banner. We talked about how things like national anthems can and do affect world view while watching live video of the hurricane with an American Flag "still there".

We talked about the events of September 11th, the events and the reaction. We used this as a discussion regarding empathy and we wrote about a time in our lives that our world view or perspective changed.

We began work on paragraphs, discussing important structure and format in the context of essay outlining and organization. We highlighted the key concepts of support (always clearly express your support with evidence) and structure ( the structure of a paragraph is the same as a essay just shorter) and how to rely on this format to assist writing.

Have a great weekend everyone and thank you for engaging in your work.
