  • No homework over the weekend! (Except Happiness and Meaning projects for those of you to whom this applies)
  • Honors-- get those project proposals for Cat's Cradle in by Monday.
  • Bring $10 in for our desert camping trip for food.

Agenda

1. Review: What idea from the readings or which environmental ethic(s) are you most unclear on right now? What questions do you still have about our content covered thus far?

2. Ashley reads The Lorax by Dr. Seus

3. Environmental Ethics Exam
Did the last line of each page on your copies get cut off? If so here is what they said:
Page 1: ....they pictured vast abysses waiting to suck the traveler down into a bottomless gulf.
Page 2: ....but the poet's insight has not become of general knowledge.
Page 3:....things are being introduced into our environment at a rapid rate. There simply is no time for the living protoplasm to adjust to them.

Vocab terms from Rachel Carson's speech
Portentous: sinister, ominous, threatening
Humility: humbleness
Protoplasm:
 the colorless material comprising the living part of a cell, including the cytoplasm, nucleus, and other organelles.
Verities: important truths
Evasion: avoidance
