We began class by watching CNN student news. We watched the first half of Monday's broadcast, and the update on the missing airline from Tuesday's episode. As students watched the newscast I checked last night's homework.
Next, students responded to three statements about mudslinging and election ethics. They had to agree or disagree with the statement and explain why. We then had a discussion about their beliefs about each topic.

Next, we investigated the qualities that describe people, and how a person can be viewed differently from different people. We brainstormed a list of people in their lives who they have contact with and probably have formed an opinion of them. I wrote a list of these people on the board.
For homework students need to complete the personal "Kaleidoscope." Read the directions on the top of the sheet for guidance on this activity. Students should spend at least 20 minutes working on their Kaleidoscope tonight (FRONT ONLY).
