Week of September 15th

Please remember that last week's assignment needs to be completed if it has not been. You will not get full credit for a late assignment, but it is better than a zero. This class will comprise 25% of your internship grade-so it is important.

For this week you need to read the chapters entitled "A New Life" and "God's Angels."

Also for this week I want you to give me your definition of leadership in less than 50 words. Please continue to spend time thinking about your responses. In other words, put some effort into it. You can send your response to me via personal email or St. Peter Claver Webmail.

Week of September 9th

For this week please read the chapter "Coming to America."

Also, I would like you to answer the following question and email your response to me.

"America seems sweet on top, like fresh honey straight from the comb. But what's sweet on the surface is often rotten underneath. So beware." These cautionary words were spoken to Mawi and his family after they decided to leave their homeland and head for America. America is a wonderful place, but it isn't without problems. I would like you to come up with two problems in America that you see on a daily basis. These could be things like poverty and racism or something else. Include in your answer how these problems have affected you or your family. Please be specific and cite examples. I want you to start thinking about the problems that exist in our society today. Your answer should be thoughtful and personal. I want you to spend some time really thinking about this question and your answer. Please ask your teachers, parents, or friends for help if necessary. Your response should be between 100-200 words.

Have a great week. You are doing great at your jobs-keep it up!!
