Activities for week fifteen 1st semester 12/14 - 12/18 - 2015

At some point in life, each of us struggles with three basic questions. The first is the question of existence: why am I alive? The second is the question of significance: does my life matter? And the third is the question of intention: what is my purpose? I want you to know you are alive because you are loved. Second I also want you to know your life matters. And finally your purpose is to be the best you can be (awesome) and to continue to seek after what you were put here to be.

Please check Aeries and know your grade in our class if you are not passing or have a 'D' you need to see me so we can find a way for you to improve (do you have all your reading points?). Finally make sure you are practicing your dialogue with your partner for your class presentation of Antigone. What are you using for props?
