Agenda

Credo Instructions

1. Write down 10 serious things you sincerely, deeply believe.  Statements you consider the philosophical, intellectual, spiritual bedrock of your life.  Statements of belief that you are willing to fight for.
2. Write down 7 silly things that you believe, stuff that doesn't matter or is frankly irrational, but you believe anyway.
3. Write down 5 things  (serious or silly) that you do not believe.
4. Write down 6 things (serious or silly) that you will never do or believe no one should ever do.
5. Write down 8 things (serious or silly) that you believe everyone should do.
6. Write down your favorite quotation ever, the one you think best expresses something you believe about life, what you might want under your senior picture in your high school yearbook.  Be sure to quote the person who said your quotation.
7. What is your motto?
8. What is your life song?
9. Title your paper Credo followed by your name.  Under your name, list the title of your life song and artist.  Beneath the life song title, skip a line, then mix up and variate #1-7 from above. Put them wherever they are rhetorically effective.  This will be a poem, so make it artful.

Homework

1. We will take a week off from vocabulary.  The next list will go out on Day 26
2. Type your credo and be ready to present it next time
3. Read chapters 31-33
4. HF Response 7: Just when Jim and Huck think they are free of the duke and the king, the pair reappear in hot pursuit of the raft.  Why might Twain continue to inflict the two frauds on Huck and Jim?  In your opinion, how has the pair contributed to or detracted from the plot?
