TO ALL MY ETHICAL PEEPS...

GHONG XI FAH CHAI...HONG PAO NA LAI?! XIN NIEN KUAI LE!!!

Here are your Chinese New Year Break Homework/Assignments...!

FIRST...work on your Community Service Profiles just like I told you to do so. As soon as we get back from the break, I will be expecting a report on an A4/F12/DS/TNR regarding your CS Profile which should at least be more than just five pages long. It is important that you present well the background of the org you chose and the background of the project you are undertaking. I need to know your contact personnel from the site and what your accomplishments are so far. Furthermore, a schedule of your visitation sessions, including one where all of us will be going together as a class during one of the weekends, should be in your report---check your school calendar to make sure you do not conflict your activity with a school event. On EDLINE, I will post the the schedule tracking sheet which you must print out and carry with you a copy everytime you go to the site to do your Community Service. Your contact personnel in the area should fill out the form everytime you go and you should turn that in to me when we meet in class. E-mail me (valente@tcis.ac.th) questions if you have any pertaining to this...!

SECOND...over the break, find a good relevant movie that deals with or gives a good representation of the concepts of Conscience and Moral Development. It has to be a rated PG movie that is appealing to people of all ages. It does not have to be in English, as long as it carries ideas that examine the ethical values and morality of man. Have a copy of the movie for me/us to watch in class and make sure it has correct subtitles if it is not an English film. Furthermore, on an A4/F12/DS/TNR, write an analysis/reflection paper on why you chose the movie and how you think it is related to our topic on Chapter Six or any other chapter we have taken up. I want this in first day we get back from the CNYB...!

THIRD...reread Chapter 6 very well if there is a need for you to do so; jot down at least five (5) questions in your notebook you might have on the chapter that you want clarified and we can discuss when we get back from the break. We are done until page 193, so your questions should pertain from the topic Affective and Cognitive Sides of Conscience until the end of the chapter...!

LASTLY...on an A4/F12/DS/TNR, write me an essay type reflection on "How Relevant Has Citizenship & Ethics Class Been To Me". Make sure to write more than a page long and try to explain what advantages and disadvantages you have encountered being a part of the class. I will also collect this the first day back from the break...!

That's All Folks! Finish all your homework/assignments immediately so you can enjoy your break more...do not procrastinate and leave it off to the weekend before school starts. Take care and be safe always if ever you are going out of town or out of the country...be ready to Rock-N-Roll as soon as we get back...and of course...enjoy your vacation! Be good and study well...CIAO!!!
