Lost Tools:  We introduced Exordium! Translated, this means how to open our essay.  To break it down in very simple terms, there are 5 tools here.  Questions, Statistics, Challenge (at this stage, imperative), Quotation, and Anecdote/Joke.  We went into detail on each of these.  Using worksheet on page 29 of their book they should practice each of these in their arrangement this week. Use outline from Lesson 3 arrangement.  We also had some great discussion on Number the Stars....is it ever ok to lie?
Homework: See PDF guide

Rhetoric: We discussed how the stories in the bible are not just stories.  They really happened!  How sometimes we can become desensitized to stories like Daniel and the Lions den and we forget how powerful a passage that can be.  I really encourage you to continue discussion of this at home ;)
