Make mazes, create games, and play them with others. Learn math facts you've never even seen before. In this class we will explore several philosophies and religions from around the world and learn how they are used, by the people who follow them, to bring meaning to their lives. We will do this through on-line research, sacred writings, films, guest speakers, and field trips. This course will give you a broader understanding of how we all search for meaning through our cultures, religions, traditions, and celebrations.
Poems are portable during both creation and appreciation.
