Reminder

Reminder: The Socrates Profile is due Tuesday 22^nd. Your goal should be to turn in a complete rough draft on Monday so we can go over it in class. This will be your last formal essay (there will be other written work however).

Period 4 – We did not go over this today (Wednesday) because of the advisory Olympics schedule, but we will tomorrow. Also, please stay on track to read 10 pages a day of the Apology, like we discussed in class, even though we did not meet today.

You can find a copy of the written requirements for the Socrates Profile under the important documents link on my blog home page. Look for “socrates_profile_07.”

Period 1 and 4 - Some of you have not turned in debate reflections for the censorship debate. Please don't forget that, as you will not get a grade for the debate and debate prep without it.

POST ON BLOG -

Make a list of some of the Athenian values that you encountered in the text. Choose one and write a couple of sentences (or more) about why it might be good for the trial of Socrates.

We are not going to read the rest of the oration, so if you are interested you should read the rest on your own. We will move on to the Apology of Plato.
