first 2 homework assignments - due Monday 9/10

Due Monday 9/10:

Assignment 1:  Please read chapter 1 in the red book (the Enduring Vision) and
1.  Take three pages of handwritten notes based on the reading.  This is a general guideline you will be following for the year (1 page of handwritten notes for every 5 pages of reading in the textbook), unless I tell you otherwise.
2.  Also, after you've read, please write down what you consider five key themes or "big ideas" in the chapter.  These need to be phrased as full sentences.
3.  Please return the book to me on Monday.
This will count as a double homework assignment (10 points total).

Assignment 2:  please read over and have your parents sign the syllabus, and return the smaller sheet with the signatures to me on Monday 9/10.  This assignment is worth 5 points.

For those of you who are curious about where those monuments/locations in the slideshow are located, here's the PowerPoint I showed you with the answers.
