Day 26

Today we started off by discussing two different quotes, then writing in our commonplace books our thoughts.

"A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom." -Milton Friedman

"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him." -Robert Heinlein

We then continued looking at and interpreting various political cartoons.

The students began working on a particular news article assignment. The students are to find a article from the newspaper that relates in some way to the concepts and ideas we've been discussing in class lately. They will then write a 200 word paper concerning their opinion, as if they were writing a letter to the editor.
