and the link for Chapter 3 is here:

This is an interactive game and some computers might not be able to load it, if you have problems and want to take the review, e-mail me and I'll send you a pdf version. 

At the end of the review, you can e-mail the results to me (mrmurrin@verizon.net)
If the whole class does the review and mails the results to me, we'll have a prize next week.

Here are the vocabulary words for the last two weeks (with definitions from your glossary)
culture= the collection of knowledge, belief, and behavior of a particular group of people. Culture expresses the shared attitudes, values, goals, and social practices of the group.  To take root in a culture, the Gospel must be adapted to live in that culture as well as transform it.

exile= the period in the history of Israel between the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC and the return to Jerusalem in 537 AD.  During this time may of the Jewish people were forced to live in Babylon, far from home.

racism=the opinion that race determines human traits and capacities and that a particular race has an inherent or inborn superiority.  Discrimination based on race is a violation of human dignity and a sin against justice.

sexism= a prejudice or discrimination based on sex, especially discrimination against women. Sexism leads to behaviors and attitudes that foster a view of social roles based only a sex.

Garden of Eden= a garden created by God, filled with trees and lush vegetation, where God first placed Adam and Eve and from which they were later expelled.

When we have about a dozen words and time left in a session, we'll start playing the vocabulary game.  It might not sound like fun but every class where we've done it, loves it.  You win coins for a correct answer (sometimes chocolate ones) and if you want, you can trade in the coins for prizes.  That is one reason that you want to read your chapter ahead of time-so there is time for the game!

For next week: Read Chapter 4.
If everyone reads the chapter and sends me the chapter review for Chapter 4 before class, we'll watch the Noah movie.

Have a great week and I'll see you on Tuesday night!
