4th Quarter Freshman Prayer and Great Thoughts Assignment

During the 4th quarter, your prayer and great thoughts will look like this: you need to write up two great thoughts, with attribution, on separate sheets of paper, just like the ones we post around the room. These are the great thoughts only - you don't need to write up a prayer or a talk or anything like that. Both these great thoughts are due the day we return from break. Please try to choose ones that you haven't heard before in class.

I will collect them and place them in a large envelope. Then, each day, I will choose a different student's name at random. When your name is called, you will draw a great thought at random from the envelope, lead the class in prayer, and then give a short talk on the principle embodied by the great thought you have selected. The rubric for the assignment is listed below:
