We are continuing to watch the tv series based on McCullough's book John Adams. We are skipping a few scenes in the film which contain moments of nudity. Meanwhile, students should continue to read John Adams, searching for clues that will help them on the final exam essay question: What do you learn from John and Abigail Adams about what it means to be a Christian citizen?
Homework:

Update May 2
Today we worked on the final essay question regarding how Christians approach argument. We subdivided the topic into the following:
1) tactics
2) topics
3) purpose
4) assumptions
We also raised these questions:
1) What role does faith play in argument?
2) What kind of evidence does a Christian use in argument?
3) How does a Christian communicate with a secular world?
4) When is scriptural and prophetic evidence appropriate and helpful?
Homework:
Please read through page 93 of John Adams.
