I do suppose I should talk with her myself though... lol.<BR/><BR/>You would love this class. We have about 7 books that we are looking at... using journals to log thoughts, and class conversation to discuss contrasting themes. Plus, and this is the cool part, we have a pseudo movie club where, a few nights a week, we are watching Dystopia and Utopian films... we have already finished Avalon, Equilibrium, V for Vendetta, and Banlieue 13... it has been pretty cool. <BR/><BR/>The utopias and dystopias are giving us a lot of material and starting points for various conversations about life, government, religion, sexuality, privacy, etc.... I think there just might be hope for these kids to be intelligent and cultured conversationalists.... :-)<BR/><BR/>How goes the running? Where are you going to be this summer?... Oh, and you need to post more often... ;-)Zachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072912764983183344noreply@blogger.com
