New Seating Chart

Seating Chart Activity: Kahoot for BIG money!

Circle: Would you rather know the truth about everything or live in the world you do now where you get to choose what you want to know about?

Rumford Cape Paper Submitted

Unit: Religion & Philosophy

Purpose: Philosophy and religion exist for the sole purpose of giving purpose and explaining how life works. They can be very useful when things aren't going so well and can make one's life significantly better.  Religion and personal philosophies can be by-products of where you live, "inherited" from your family or chosen by you.
Challenge: You're going to be given one quotation at at time. All the quotes come from different philosophies.  For each quote, you must 1) Find out who said the quote; 2) name the philosophy it came from; 3)  explain exactly what the quote means, as simply as possible, and; 4) explain a time in your life the quote and it's underlying belief would have been useful. 5) Keep track of the philosophy(s) you like best and what you like about it.  If your group finishes with a quotation, you will get another.  You will be quizzed next class on the quotes' meanings.
