告訴學生他們將觀看與課題相關的新聞。

播放新聞Supreme Court rules for Christian mail carrier who refused to work Sundays
允許學生在觀看新聞期間或之後花5分鐘做筆記。
討論對新聞的初步看法。
播完新聞通常同學似懂非懂,所以我打了一篇用字較簡單的文字,請他們看完後,回答以下問題。詳細內容請看上一篇
Divide the class into two groups for a debate or panel discussion.
將班級分成兩組,進行辯論或小組討論。
一組主張要執行嚴格的規定,而另一組則主張在工作場所提供更多宗教適應措施。雙方都有機會陳述他們的論點和反駁意見。
P.S. 如果沒空,辯論這個部分會跳過(通常來不及)

Thank the students for their participation and encourage them to continue exploring the topic.
感謝學生的參與,並鼓勵他們繼續探討這個課題。
提供任何額外資訊或進一步閱讀資源。
I'd like to ask all of you to take your essays home and finish them up. Originally, I had hoped we could complete them during our class time, but I've come to realize that it's just not realistic. So, it's best to give you the opportunity to work on them at your own pace outside of class.
請各位同學回去把作文寫完,下次交上來。
我本來是要請同學在課堂上完成作文,但後來發現根本寫不完,有進度壓力。只好讓他們帶回去寫。
