In class, you have heard the article, "In a Battle of Values, Love is First," by Josh Sundquist.
Josh's article inspired this assignment. He is an exceptional young man who wrote several articles for the Richmond Newspapers before going away to college (William and Mary). Check below for several web sites which feature Josh.
Definition of Values
Values are principles, standards, or qualities considered to be worthwhile or desirable.
Try this....
1. Make a list of values that are important to you. Think about this: What are the principles upon which you base your decisions? What are the values your parents and teachers stress with you? You may have as many values on your list as you like.
2. Think about which values are most important to you. TRY to narrow your list to ten. (This is NOT a limit, though. You may have more than ten---or less than ten.)
A list of values you may want to consider......
Faith - Hope - Sincerity -
Honesty - Truthfulness - Integrity -
Courage - Bravery -
Peacefulness -

Appearance
Make A Values Poster
Create a poster listing your values. Use your creativity and imagination when you design your poster. You may use your I-Book to design your poster, your home computer, or you may design your poster on printer paper that will fit in your portfolio.
You may want to make a list as Josh did in the article. He started with the most valuable and listed it at the top of the page in 72 font. As his list continued, he reduced the size of the font. You don't have to list down the page as he did. You may write all over the page.
You may want to write the values in different colors and in different types of fonts.
These are your only limitations:
*Make sure your values fit on one page (the same size as notebook paper) so that it will fit nicely in your portfolio.
*Make sure you spell everything correctly.
*Make sure that you print your poster so that when you come to class you will have the copy IN YOUR HANDS and not on your I-Book.
