1. By Wednesday, find a newspaper article in English that presents science as true or factual and religion as merely belief, as if religion and science are naturally, necessarily opposed, completely separate, unquestioningly bracketed. Write one sentence summarising what the article says.

2. By Sunday, draw a 4 panel comic strip about something, anything related to someone else’s post. Make sure that no one else has responded to that post.
