In class this week we studied a document entitled Food and Temper written by Julien Offray de Lamettrie. This document discussed Mr. Lamettrie's theory that diet is related to a person's soul and character. We finished up the day by watching a couple of inspiring videos.
Homework for next week:
Reading: Finish our next book-- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we will be discussing it this coming Thursday.
Essay: Why does character matter?

Patterns & I Wonders: Keep looking for these and bring them to share.
Keep up the hard work. These document studies can be difficult, but learning how to find lines of logic will definitely help you in your current and future studies. Keep up the good work!

Week 5-Mathematical Experiments
In class this week we started out by watching a Studio C video highlighting some of the ideas of Immanuel Kant. We then did some mathematical science experiments. For example, we learned why when 23 people are in a room, there is a 50% chance of two people having the same birthday.
Homework for next week:
Document Study: Please read and study the document Food and Temper by Julien Offray de Lamettrie. Look up any words that you are unfamiliar with. We will be discussing this document next week.
Essay: Those of you that did not complete your essay need to get those turned in next week. If you are wondering what we look for in a good essay, just make sure it is “quality”. (Think about how quality is defined in “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".)
Science Project: Start working on your projects. Do some brainstorming and some research. Keep records of both your research as well as your experiments.

Also, if you find any good and/or obvious lines of logic, please feel free to share them in the comments. We can help each other out learning how to find them more effectively.

Week 3 - Houston, we have a problem...
In class this week we philosophized about Zen, motorcycles, motorcycle maintenance, quality = truth, education vs. training, and why this was the hardest book most of us had ever read. Then we saved the Apollo 13 mission in our simulation and experienced the importance of focusing and listening to the right voices.
