JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" & "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones]
Do we still want what we want by the time we get it? Kids want to be
older, adults want to be kids. We want more independence, we want
someone to take care of us. Do you know what you want? Does it feel
good to get what you want? Have we just gotten really good at wanting?
Give this your best thinking, to be continued in discussion tomorrow...
AGENDA:
*Minute of Mindfulness*
1. Journal
2. Techie Tuesday: password management
3. "Young Goodman Brown" -- ending and interpretations
4. Your YGB questions
5. "do. or do not. there is no essay."
POST:
Please reflect on the conversation we had today. Do you read and/or discuss a text differently when the author is in the room? Did you learn anything from talking/listening that you didn't get from reading? (title: READ TALK UNDERSTAND)
REMINDER:
Please bring the updated draft of your résumé to class tomorrow. Mahalo.
