Activities for week thirteen 5/3 - 5/7 - 2010

Magic Johnson paraphrased John F. Kennedy when he stated, "Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates." Are you making our class more interesting? Are you sharing your ideas about our reading, and really getting involved in our discussions? President Woodrow Wilson asserted, "You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." Are you adding value to our class? If you are involved in our discussions and are raising your hand to answer my questions you may see me for extra credit projects. Please don't ask if you are one of my "just along for the ride people".
