Class Notes

Tuesday 17 January 2012
Each of you got a list of the books for 2nd semester.  Remember, we are NOT going to order or read all of them.  I had you check the ones we are definately going to read.  Before we get to thet list, however, we have 2 books already that we need to read.  Please bring BOTH books to class Friday: Son of Charlemagne and Arabian Nights. I hope all of you turned in your paper on Kaaba.  If you did not, then you must turn it in Friday without fail.  All of you got a small paper last week on the work you were missing according to my gradebook.  If you have not already taken care of this, you need to do so soon.  The grading period ends on the 27th so any incomplete work at that time receives a zero and some of you cannot afford a zero.
I would like to request that these things NOT come to class again: cell phones, IPads, headsets, hats, or anything else that distracts us.  You may leave them in your bookbags, but I do not want to see them in class again.  If you have these things in class again,  I will be forced to call your parents.  Please be respectful fo the fact that this IS class and a time to learn and exchange ideas, not discuss the latest thing on your devices.
In order to complete the assignment i gave you in class you will need to use page 170: 30B, the 3 comparisons we did together in class last week, as well as what you completed in class today.  I want your rough draft as well as the answers to the questions on page 170 for Judaism and Islam.  Staple your rough draft on top of this paper, please.
Don't forget to bring your next 2 books to class on Friday, please.

Your assignments are:

Tuesday/Wednesday 18/19 January 2012
1. Finish page 170: 30B if you have not already done so.
2. Write a rough draft Compare/Contrast paper on the 3 main religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic. Remember to double space whether you write it or type it.
3. Bring 2 books to class on Friday.
