Remember, we have a field trip coming up to Divali. After you read the article below, you may visit the Barsana Dham link if you are attending the field trip.
Hello Students:
First, I was thinking about you all after reading an article last night. The article relates to something we have read. It told the story of a tragic and real-life Trolley Problem.
Before you do anything else in this class today, please read the article here: http://bit.ly/dfMlr2
After you read the article, take a 2 minute discussion break with your neighbor regarding the article. I will call on some of you to share your perspective about the event discussed in the article.
Second, after you are done reading, you may work on any project for my class. If you are striving to get an A or B, then visit the grading grids here (Grading Grids) to remind yourself exactly what is needed for an A or B.
This is the link to Barsana Dham >>>> Divali
Third, If you are content with your Grade of C, you may visit the following logic games:
If you are on any other link, you will be removed from the computer area and asked to sit in a corner.
