The first week back we clarified our various views on
Charlie’s developmental stages in Flowers
for Algernon. We discussed how Language (AoK) is the main vehicle for
knowing Charlie’s mind. We also analyzed
how Language, specifically fiction, is used to discuss important truths
concerning Knowledge issues and acquisition (Charlie is, after all, only a character
developed by an author for a specific purpose).
We completed
the following activities connected to our Summer readings:
1. Two Coffee Discussions related to Flowers For Algernon: Developmental Stages and Themes.
2. Discussion of how false beliefs from our childhood exist,
and our feelings associated with them.
3. Rorschach testing acdtivity history, and analysis
4. Inception Maze Activity (2 minutes to build a maze that
takes longer than one minute to finish).
IT WAS HARDER THAN WE EXPECTED. Repeat experiment in the future.
Next Week: (8/19/13) Assignments:
- Coffee Discussion: Choice Novel Reading review
- Socratic Seminar 3: Language as Greatest AOK? Worksheet and Collaboration (Due: 8/23/13)
- 2 Surrealist Language Games (FUN!)
