The Cheat

The Cheat

Hey Team:

In the last chapter Sarah began considering her level of guilt.  This is what she said;

How did it work, guilt wise, I wondered.  Was Jake as guilty as me? Was I more or less guilty then Rob and Dan ?  How much less guilty was Katie for not using the answers?  Did that make her entirely innocent? Or did she at least get tiny black flecks on her soul for even considering cheating?

And how about if I hadn't got caught? Would that make me guiltier or less guilty?  Is there some kind of spiritual measuring stick or justice scales or something that assigns level of guilt?

How does it work GUILT wise? Answer Sarah's questions about each students level of guilt! (Sarah, Katie, Dan, Rob, Jake)

As well pick 2 other students to dialogue, debate and challenge about there opinions on level of guilt!

The Cheat

Hey Team

We are right in the middle of the moral dilemma and climax of the story The Cheat!  Sarah needs to make choices and we are curious what has happened to Rob!  

The story has introduced many characters with a wide range of personalities.

Lets make a person connection to these characters by answering:

Which character/characters are you most LIKE?  Be specific in your response by providing details 

Which character/characters are you must UNLIKE ? Be specific in your response by providing details   

Next respond to two other students about their post.  Ask questions that are meaningful and engaging
