Libya

Libya seems to be descending further into chaos.

-Gaddaffi has refused to step down and there is no sign that he will cede power peacefully.

-Attacks continue to be carried out against protesters- many have been killed or injured.

-The protesters have realized Gaddaffi will not step down, so they are attempting to take control of the state by seizing strategic locations (primarily oil cities) in Libya and engaging in armed conflict with the state.

-The state has launched air strikes on these locations.

-The fact that air strikes have been carried out has the international community questioning if it should impose a 'no-fly-zone' over Libya. This would mean Libya, along with the international community could not fly within Libyan airspace. If an airplane was sent into Libyan airspace the international community, who is imposing the ban, could shoot the plane down. This could have major global consequences. On the other hand, a 'no-fly-zone' would serve to protect Libyan civilians.

-As of right now it looks as though Libya will continue spiraling into civil war (a war fought amongst members of the same nation).

We have been reading a personal essay entitled "Under the Influence" by Scott R. Sanders. This is to help us learn about choices, and how our choices impact others.

Yesterday we talked a little bit about regret and then wrote about a decision we regret.

What is the decision you regret?
Who did you affect by making this decision?
What lessons did you learn?
What changes have you made?


Your job during reading is to come up with six types of questions.

6 Types (1 for each): Facts, Feelings, Cautionary, Positive, Creative, Deep Understanding.


Today in P.4 you will be with Mr. Moore:

Your job is to write two FORMAL (topic sentences, proper grammar, closing sentences, three well explained main points) paragraphs answering the questions below.

1. In a well developed parapgrah discuss how the 'decisions' of Sanders' father affected Sanders.

2. In a persuasive (argue only one side) paragraph decide whether or not addiction is a choice. Use informed arguments to build your case- remember you need 3 main supporting points.

When complete please have someone you trust proof your paragraphs for spelling, proper sentence structure, grammar, etc. and then type in 'formal assignment format.'
