For those students present (Eric & Josh, plus Aaron who sat in) we did a thorough review of Part 4 of the book. Students presented their journal entries which started some useful dialogue.
The bulk of our class was spent creating a spectrum of the peacemakers and their philosophies and trying to place them, starting with Schweitzer's concept of "Reverence for Life" and comparing it to the persecution of people in Nazi Germany during WWII. We ended up trying to place ourselves on this spectrum, as well as concepts like vegetarianism and veganism.
If you missed class, please do some additional research on each of the people featured in Part 4 and report back to me. To assist:
- Henry Salt
- Albert Schweitzer
- Astrid Lindgren
- Jane Goodall
Summary of Homework Due on 3/25:
- Finish reading the 4 chapters in Part Five of the book and complete the journal entry.
