Thursday Wrap Up

Tueday, we jigsawed basic information about the Puritans and the Rationalists. We examined how Anne Bradstreet incorporated Puritan values and beliefs in two of her poems, "To My Dear and Loving Husband," and "Verses Following the Burning of My House."

Wednesday, we read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards. We identified the figurative language and persuasive techniques he used in his sermon. See me to make up this classwork.

Thursday, we read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and examined how he perceived his morality. We based this on Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development.

1. Stage One: Preconventional - Obedience and Punishment. "What's in it for me?"
2. Stage Two: Conventional - Follow laws and expectations of others and society. "How can I be a good citizen/member of society?"
3. Stage Three: Postconventional - Universal Ethical Principles: Social Justice/Human Rights - "What are the principles, values, and ethics of our society and humanity?"
