Many of you didn't have your 2 books in class today. That was disappointing. Over the break I need for each of you to read both books. Do not wait until January to read the books, it will be too much. Neither book should take you more than a day or two to read. Saladin is about Islam and has a good deal of history in it. Read it carefully because as we begin to talk about the Islamic religion, you will have some background. Do not think that I am trying to convert you to Islam, I am NOT! But we need to understand other religions so we can help the people of those religions see how they can be saved also. There are many reasons for the Muslims to hate Christians as you will see in this book. Our history has not been kind to the Muslims. Watch the news for more information about Muslims in this modern age and see if there are any parallels. Note the map at the beginning of the book. Notice where the largest Muslim population is located. Because they are in what Christians believe is the Holy Land, there will always be friction. History makes modern life so much more interesting!
Don't forget when you are reading Beowulf to read it as if it were in paragraph form instead of prose. Only pause where you see a comma or an endmark. Remember there is a Glossary at the back of the book.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope all of you turned in your rough drafts on Christianity and Shintoism. Before you begin to write your next rough draft on the religious clothes, please refer to your notes we took in class today and USE them to write your paper. Remember you need an opening paragraph of 1-3 sentences and a closing one of approximately the same length. The meat of this paper will be in the "body" or missle paragraph. That paragrapgh ought to be as long as there are comparisons. It will be much longer than the opening or closing.
The type of graphic organizer we did in class today is called a T-gram. It is used as commonly as the Venn diagram for compare papers.
Please remember to bring your Anna book to class Tuesday. You will each need your own copy.
Your assignments are:
Monday 12 December 2011
1. Write the rough draft of Compare paper on "Clothes".
2. Vocabulary work: Anna...: write the definition.
Please bring your Anna book to class Tuesday!

We got caught up on assignments today, thank goodness. We took notes on the answers to the questions on page 142. Go back to 142 and read the questiions again and make your notes make sense. We did that in a very big hurry on purpose to teach you how to get ideas down on paper to help form a paper later. Your first step in writing this paper is to re-read the 8 questions and get your answers in order. Do this for Christianity only because the Activity sheet I gave you already has done this for you for Shintoism. Here is what I wrote in answer to the questions:
1. God/Jesus- when Jesus was born: 1AD/ actually 0 AD
2. The Bible
3. Apostle's Creed; The Nicene Creed
4. The Bible; Jesus's life
5. Everyone sins- sin started with the first man and woman.
6. Christians are saved when they confess, profess, and repent- turn away from sin
7. Jesus was resurrected, lives in Heaven, right hand of God, "Where I go, you yoo shall come" Jesus saves Christians from judgement
8. HOPE
Your assignments are:
Wednesday 7 December 2011
1. Using your notes, write a compare/contrast paper on Christianity and Shintoism. This is a rough draft. If you can, skip lines so you can make corrections. It must be at least 3 paragraphs: beginning, middle, end. The middle is where you will write your notes in complete sentences. Please remember what I told you in class about writing this paper.
2. Read chapters 21- Author's Note of Anna...
Thursday 8 December 2011
1. Page 147: 27B: Make a comparison chart like the one I did in class today with Christianity and Shintoism. This is the note-taking part of a compare/contrast paper. You are going to do what I did for you today so you could write your paper tomorrow. In the question on page 147, the author gives you the notes you need for what the pope wears and what Gregory wears. Read it carefully. After reading the paragraph, you may want to go on the internet to look at a picture of a monk from the Middle Ages. That will help you with the description as well as your notes. There is more to Gregory's outfit than what the author tells you in 27B. You need the names of the garments as well as the discription.
2. Answer the discussion questions for Anna in complete sentences.
ORDER THE NEXT 2 BOOKS: SALADIN AND BEOWULF THE WARRIOR. DUE IN CLASS DECEMBER 16.
