Due Tuesday: Write a summary of the article, “Role of Religion in Society.” Please use the summary checklist I gave you for this – it is also included below. Staple the article, the summary, and the checklist together and be ready to turn them in Tuesday.
I will be out Monday, so you will have a substitute. You will need to do the reading and complete your notebook at least through Hinduism and Buddhism. If any one misbehaves for the sub, they will get detention. Please behave!
