What did you learn yesterday that surprised you? Friday, 10/25
Objective: • I will be able to contribute to a debate on the death penalty by actively reading related documents.
Consider The death penalty is a warning, just like a lighthouse throwing its beams out to sea. We hear about shipwrecks, but we do not hear about the ships the lighthouse guides safely on their way. We do not have proof of the number of ships it saves, but we do not tear the lighthouse down. - poet Hyman Barshay
