"Joan of Arc" trial transcripts
When you study Joan you'll find that her trial went on for
about a year, with those examining her trying to catch her or trip her
up somehow. It's exciting to have the transcripts of that very easily
available!
I was working on something else but just had the thought
that it would be cool if some of you guys wanted to read parts of it in
class, play-like. So think of that for another possible inspirement.
When I was reading through parts of it last week I would just scroll
down the page, stop somewhere and read, and everything I read was great.
Here's a link - http://smu.edu/ijas/1431trial.
Enjoy!

"Archimedes and the Door of Science" bookmark
TO ANSWER:
"A famous scientist once said that he was able to see so far because he stood on the shoulders of giants" How does this apply to other areas? What do you think about it?
Look at Archimedes' accomplishments. Have you studied any of those? Are you grateful to him for discovering those things?
"the greatest ideal of the Greeks: self-restraint" Why would that be an ideal? Do you agree? Why (not)?
"By the time he started school, Archimedes was supposed to know how to think. Now he was given more things to think about it." Why is that important? Do you know how to think?
"Whatever they were studying, the students first became familiar with all the known facts about the subject. Then they all worked together to try and learn new things." Do we do that? Why is that system helpful?
The early men "had only their sharp powers of observation, their curiosity and great patience." Do you think that would be hard? Do you do this with anything?
"Archimedes considered his work with spheres and cylinders... to be the most important in his life?" Is this what you think of when you think of Archimedes? What is your most important work? How do you want to be remembered?
TO DO:
"Nobody was too busy to stop and answer questions Because... wondering was the beginning of thinking...." Take time to answer someone's question.
"...They didn't argue angrily with each other, and they listened as much as they talked--and that is a sensible way to argue." Apply this principle when you are discussing something. Seek to listen as well as to be heard.
"the greatest ideal of the Greeks: self-restraint" Make a goal to have self-control over a certain part of your life.
______ "expect a lot from their citizens." Do something to be a good citizen in the home or country.
"A good mind needed a good body" Do something that hurts your body in a good way :)
"The Mediterranean was filled with pirates." Do a pirate-y something
Research the Alexandrian Lighthouse, the Archimedean Screw, one of the mentioned scientists, pi, the Greek calendars.
Study Euclid's elements.
"He thought the discovery so important that he wanted the figure on his tombstone" Design your tombstone.
Make a play/picture/poem about Archimedes death and show/present it.

"Well why don't you DO it then? What do you keep SAYING you will for? Why don't you DO IT? It's because you're afraid" Say you'll do this inspire-ment, and then DO IT! :) Research someone who DID things. Try to find someone who only SAID they'd do something, but didn't do it. (good luck)
--opt. draw a picture of them/make a presentation/write something about them.
"Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do." Be obliged to play and not obliged to work and see what happens.
Memorize 2,000 verses of scripture. … jk :) Just 2-20.

"Now auntie, you know I do care for you" said Tom. "I'd know it better if you acted more like it." Show your love to someone.
"He attempted a diary--but nothing happened during three days, and so he abandoned it." Keep a journal for 3 days in a row.
Get engaged. jk :)

What are you going to be when you grow up? What are the ups and downs of that job?
Huckleberry was filled with admiration of tom's facility in writing, and the sublimity of his language. What does this show about education?
(pg 69) The power of sincere words. How has this power helped people (including you) in the past? Why is it so powerful?
(pg 149, Robin Hood) Who are your heroes? Are they noble?
"He likes me becuz I don't ever act as if I was above him." Why do you think that is? do you like it when people act above you? why?
(pg 182, hope reviving) What do you think of hope? How do you feel about it? Is it important?
"Well why don't you DO it then? What do you keep SAYING you will for? Why don't you DO IT? It's because you're afraid" Say you'll do this inspire-ment, and then DO IT! :) Research someone who DID things. Try to find someone who only SAID they'd do something, but didn't do it. (good luck)
