Win or Lose?????? Pass or Fail?????

How important is it for you to win or pass?
When was the last time you cheated in a game or so you could win?
When was the last time you did something that wasn't completely honest so that you would get a better grade, look better to your parents or a friend?

Is it really important to win or get a better grade if you are being dishonest and not being morally honest to yourself?

Boys or Girls?????

Who has it easier, girls or boys?
Why do you think that group has it easier? Give examples.
Be sure to defend your position by giving reasons and examples to support those reasons.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Why do you think that it is important that we still celebrate MLK Day?

Why does his speech that he gave over 40 years ago still have meaning to us today? Why is it important that we keep it in mind that we can settle disagreements with words and not violence?

What can you do to help spread peace in your family, neighborhood, at school or anywhere else?

Events leading to the Revolutionary War

Of the events that we have studied in class, which do you think had the most impact or the most importance in leading to the Revolutionary War? In other words, which event was the most important and why?

Back in time

If you could go back in time, as yourself, to live for one year at any point in history, what year would you choose, and where would you go?

Why would you choose that year in history?
What do you think that you would see and who would you meet?
What would make it such an interesting place to be?

Think about it, it could be a year in the past, 5 years, 10 years or even more? Be creative about where you would go.
