Your beliefs will be the foundation of the first brief essay you will write in this unit on argument.
If you have writer's block:
Maybe your beliefs start in a quote you live by, something your parents have taught you, something you learned from experience.You might want to review the website for "This I Believe" @ www.thisibelieve.org .
Here are some of my personal beliefs, in no particular order:
- Do for others what you would like them to do for you (The Golden Rule).
- It is okay to have an unexpressed thought (my husband).
- You can't have it both ways (experience).
- Most students will only remember whether or not you were kind (Mr. Bob Louis).
- Settle all arguments before you go to sleep (experience).
- An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind (Gandhi) so learn to forgive rather than to take revenge (Teaching Tolerance magazine).
- Prior planning prevents poor performance (my Dad).
- Whenever I got hurt or sick or upset, my Mom would always say, " You'll live." So far, she's been right--in more contemporary words, " Suck it up, and quit complaining."
- If you stick your elbow out too far, it could go home in another car (Highlights magazine).
- "“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions” Rainier Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet.
- When I have a choice, I sometimes think, " If I got hit by a bus tomorrow, what would I rather have done?" Sometimes it helps me to do something kind, something fun, or something necessary...

I am SO impressed with the strong beliefs you ahve expressed in your comments. It is an honor to read what you have all written, both on the blog and in your emails.
Now that you ahve stated your beliefs, think about what you are willing to stand up for as a result.
What issue should matter to you?
How can you use your written words to inform people, to shine a light on something they should care about?
How can you persuade some people who are on the fence to come over to your way of thinking?
See you after vacation-- I am looking forward to the next step in learning to advocate for your beliefs.
