Is Equality a Worthwhile Goal?

Collected the investigative journalism articles today.  I'll start assessing hem tonight.  Period one, you are up first.

Gave my sample QBT today.  It was obviously a work in progress since I went about 15 seconds over.  I still need to edit it down, but hopefully, you saw the key things you need to do to be successful in yours.

Remember to type up a paper with what you are going to say for your QBT.  Include sections on the intro, the synopsis, the sell and the conclusion.  Remember to say the title and author in the beginning and repeat them at the end as well.  We'll start Wednesday with volunteers but officially kick it off on Monday, October 6.  On that day, everyone needs to be prepared to present.

So is equality a worthwhile goal?  We heard plenty of arguments for both sides.  After the obvious discussion points of race, gender and religion, some of you looked deeper into how far we should take the equality idea.  I believe you'll find that tonight's highlighted and annotated reading of "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut fits right in with today's class discussion.  Come to class tomorrow with your thoughts and questions but also consider this:

What are you willing to sacrifice in the quest for perfection?  

Can't wait to hear what you think.

Until next time...
