to place their name-signs on their desk prior to this class-time.
Student names are required for the essay presentation,
"Choices."
Presentation
Last year I delivered the essay titled "Choices." The message of that essay is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I am going to do it again, to remind you of its message, and for any new students.
Present the talk "Choices"
Last year we defined Life-Goals and Life-Rules. I will review them for returning students, and introduce them for new students. I will present a set of Life-Goals and Life-Rules. If you have questions or comments, raise your hand.
Project the slide
"Sub-Life-Goals
to Earn a Good Living." (subgoal2.htm or .rtf)
A Life-Goal describes what you want to be like now, or when you grow up. (Point out some on the projection.)
We see on this slide a top-level goal "Earn a good living." Underneath we see other goals that will contribute to reaching the top-level goal. (Discuss the indented sub-goals.)
Notice that the bottom one is marked as a Long-Term-Goal. Does anyone know why it is not a Life-Goal? What is the difference? Anyone? (Answer: Because it is something with a clearly defined end point, rather than something you work on all of your life!)
Why didn't I call "A good education" a
Long-Term-Goal? This is a very tricky Question! (Answer: Because
education should be an ongoing activity, hopefully for all of your
life! At this time our society and our business world is constantly
changing. You will have to learn all your life to just keep up with
them.
How do we make our Life-Goals come true? Do we make and follow
plans? Anyone?
Show the slide "Life-Rules to Earn a Good Living." (subgoal4.htm or .rtf)
Usually, we do not make plans, but we have Life-Rules instead. You see below the Life-Goals some Life-Rules I have written for them. If we chose good Life Rules, learn them, and follow them, they will help us reach our good Life-Goals. Show several of these rule-sets, each under a Life-Goal.
There are other Life-Rules that help us lead balanced lives. They
help us decide between two or more Good Life-Rules. They help us set
good priorities - what to do first.
Project "Unbalance Life-Rules." Talk about them. Open floor for any discussions or questions.
Continue to make use of teaching moments for any part of the personhood curriculum.
