CURE FOR INTOLERANCE

At SJL we teach the importance of respecting differences.

Each one of us is God’s unique creation. We are all different; yet, in our contemporary world, as in past generations, difference is not always regarded as a positive thing.

We need a cure for intolerance!

Suggest ways that we, as a society, can break down barriers so that differences are celebrated and tolerated.

PEELING THE ONION

Hi Everyone.

Our first post is a simple one based on our class novel "Peeling the Onion" by Wendy Orr.

Are you enjoying it? Why? Why not?
Does the composer portray teenagers effectively? Do you believe in the characters?
Is there any image or description or sentence that you think is particularly effective?

I look forward to your comments.
