Yes, it’s that time of year already. I’ve been making plans to go visit my mother for a pre-Christmas lunch. She lives over an hour’s drive away, so I don’t get over there to see her very much. I’ve invited my brother along too, but it’s a long trip for him as well, so I’m not sure if he’ll make it or not.
I also spent some time today planning future ethics class topics for the weeks in December, leading up to a break which I plan on taking over Christmas and New Year. I’ve had special Christmas/holiday themed lessons at the end of the past few years, but I think I’ve run out of related topics, so this year I’m planning a fun hypothetical lesson, getting the kids to imagine what the world would be like if various strange scenarios happened. For example: What if likes could be used as money? What if people had wings? What if nobody agreed what colour anything was?
Otherwise my day was busy with lots of online ethics classes. I’m really enjoying this current week’s topic on Rights, Privileges, and Responsibilities, which ends today.
