Essential Question:
What is the individual's role in creating a just society?

Goals:
  • Understand Obama's rationale for U.S. strikes on Syria
  • Reflect on the TIB writing process
  • Define civil disobedience
  • Explore the difference between law and justice

Agenda
1. Turn in your peer critiqued drafts of the TIB essay


2. College Announcements with Rachael Sands

3. Obama's Speech Seeking Syrian Vote in Congress (thanks to Sarah Lawton for sharing this article on edmodo)
  • What do you know about the Syrian conflict? (Geneva conference, Syrian Civil War, chemical weapons)
  • How does Obama use pathos and logos in his speech?
  • What do you think the U.S. is obligated to do?
  • Do  you think the U.S. has a right and/or obligation to serve as the world's police?

Homework
All students:

  • Primary Source #2: North Star Editorial, "The War with Mexico"
  • Historical Thinking Skills Chart

2.  By Friday: read and react to the article I posted on edmodo entitled "9 questions about Syria you were too embarrassed to ask" OR post and respond to another article on the Syrian conflict.
