 English 11 Block 1: Homework for Monday

  • Read the assignment at the back of the "Break the Fake" handout. 
    • Choose one of the three topics (flu remedies, consumer advocacy, or the solar minimum).
    • Create a full page quad chart like we did with the pediatrician websites. Which of the two websites in your topic is more trustworthy? Take point form notes to fill out all four quadrants; however, two quadrants are more likely to be filled than the other two. Aim for at least 20 point form notes overall. The more, the better.
  • Test alert! We'll be writing a subject verb test on Tuesday, April 30! Check out the following sites:
  • If not finished, complete your "quad" notes on the two fake websites below. Give me at least 4-6 detailed points for each website on (1) what makes this site an obvious fake, and (2) what makes this site a good fake. /20

Philosophy 12 Block 2: Homework for Monday
  • If you were away, get my complete notes on free will and compatibilism.
  • If not finished, complete your second group of free will and determinism notes for pp. 117 to 120:
    • For each page, create two questions on the most important issues on that page. YOU have to decide what's most important. Then, answer each question with a 2-3 sentence answer.
      • 8 questions total + 8 full answers = /16 marks
  • Here are the journal entries (so far) for Round 2:
    • 13. If you could pass the rest of your life cared for in every way as you slumbered peacefully, entranced by wonderful dreams, would you do so? 
    • 12. If you could choose the sex and physical appearance of your soon-to-be-born child, would you do it? Why or why not?Would it make a difference if we were talking about diseases like Parkinson’s?
    • 11. A close friend, Jane, asks – and genuinely wants – your opinion about something, but your opinion is one that she is likely to find quite painful. For example, Jane is an artist, and asks for your honest estimate of her chances of being successful. You think Jane is an atrocious artist who hasn’t the slightest chance of success. What would you do?
    • 10. You are the captain of a 20-crew submarine that’s lying on the seabed. Its engines are destroyed. Rescue is three days away. There’s only enough air for five people over that three-day span. What do you decide? What’s the rationale for your decision? 
    • 9. Lawyers take a solemn oath to defend the interests of their clients. They must not suppress information either. If you were the lawyer, would you withhold information that implicates your client in a violent crime, even if you might be disbarred?
