Sign up for one "Final Challenge" event outside your TOR's door with your Monday class BY FRIDAY MAY 27, OR YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED AN EVENT.

Symbolism of card playing in book: 
Euchre = togetherness of men (combining the deck)

Solitaire = loneliness (separating the deck)


Each student will get a card from a deck with ONE of the questions below on the back.

Once you have your card, pair up with another student with a different question, and verbally brainstorm what you could say about your card for 5-10 mins.

Large circle: Go around, and share thoughts that you discussed with your partner.

_____

For 15 points in discussion thanks to the respectful behavior in mods 11 and 12 yesterday:
1. Why do hurting people often hurt others?

2. Is it true that everything we judge in others is something in ourselves that we don’t want to face?

3. Is it true that nobody will remember that you are pretty and talented, if you are mean?

4. Is prejudice/discrimination “just a part of American life”?

5. Do isolated situations have to lead to prejudices? Why couldn’t the outcasts band together in chapter 4? Explain.

6. How do we avoid catching or spreading “the virus”?
