November 2, 2004           Due to the inherent connection of public health issues and

“VOTE!!!!!                         politics I am nudging you to participate in your civic duty to vote

                                        in the upcoming November election (11/2/2004). You can do

                                        this by absentee ballot or in person & still have time to register

                                        if you are not currently. If you need to go home to do so, I will

                                        even excuse your absence!! Proof of your participation is required

                                        for these points.

 

                                        Please write your name and address on a piece of paper along

                                        with your voting district and the name and address of the place

                                        where you’ve voted, include your “I voted today” sticker & hand in.

                                        If you vote by absentee, instead of the address and location and sticker,

                                        include the envelope you received your ballot in, as well as where

                                        you mailed it to after voting. You’ll also need to hand in your

                                        name and address with your district.

 

                                        **I will check up on these, so please don’t try to fool me. Either vote

                                        and get credit, or don’t and don’t!!! It will be considered cheating

                                        to lie. And I WILL take appropriate actions if needed.

 

November 9, 2004           Abortion is among the most controversial topics of all

“ABORTION”                      times. What do you think about it? Why all the controversy?

                                        Finally, do you have any suggestions to help make it less of an

                                        issue in the U.S.?

 

 

November 30, 2004         Take home the scenario that you were given in class on

“IS IT RAPE?”                     the 18th . For tonight, simply write yes or no to the question

                                        “Is this rape?” and underline your evidence. After class, take it       

                                        home again and rethink it after we’ve looked at what “Rape” is

                                         in Ohio. Do you feel differently about your initial decision? Why or why not?
