Test Taking Vocabulary
GRADE 7s!!!! Here is a great video that supports what we have been talking about in our writing. This shows the importance of adding specific details to our writing to support the points that we are trying to make. Keep this in mind for our current writing tasks!
Nelson Mandela
I don't think that there is a better 21st Century example we can use in our class to discuss Human Dignity and Reconciliation than Nelson Mandela. We only need to look to his example of how he treated his captures to understand what respect for others and reconciliation means.
Use this period to research Nelson Mandela and respond with a paragraph on how you think he connects to our Focus on Faith theme, Human Dignity.
Here are a few links that will help you begin:
Nelson Mandela's Life Story (We watched in class on Friday)
Mandela Release From Prison Speech
Listen to the amazing response he gets from the crowd! 6 minutes of non-stop cheering! Amazing.
