Summary of Class 10/17-10/18

Yesterday we got into groups and shared our information that we got the day before on our part of the Declaration of Independence. We then went over them and started to discuss the word in which the accomplices with Brutus gave to him. We wondered why he didn't have them sign a document, like the founding fathers did for the Declaration of Independence. Many people had different topics on why and Mr.Boyle being the devils advocate, created a big discussion about trust. Today, Mr.Boyle was absent so he assigned us to read a persuasive essay written by Thomas Pain. In Thomas Paine's essay, the first sentence was "These are the times that try mens soul's." With this quote, we were supposed to write an essay on whether or not we agree or disagree pertaining to the present year, of 2012.
