<P><FONT size=2>hi guys,</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>i started with the CD
activity. then we went through the first chapter of ross's reason and
argument book on meaning and definition so we could talk about the stipulative
definitions of "fault" they were using in the activity. then we looked
at morality in general and talked about how it affects our daily lives (e.g.
laws). we read the first chapter of "the philosophy files" by stephen
law and they have been set 2 journal questions - one on their own personal
principles, and one on the link between moplus i had three days with them at
year 11 study camp, which happens to be at la trobe uni and we stayed at glenn
college. i took a couple of the keener ones over for a look at the
department and the library and they got to meet ross - who didn't impress them
as much as his office did!!!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>hope you're all enjoying it. see you at the first sunday
session - when is it, by the way?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>lyn.</FONT> </P><BR>

Care to elaborate on the skills your kids are using? I've just started
to talk about the formal deductive structure after running with Ross Philips'
CD stories. The kids started to flag after the first period (it was a
double) and so I abandoned going through all of the rankings, but I think I
got enough out of it in terms of getting the kids to think about ethics in a
slightly more sophisticated manner... I think.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> Are you focussing more
on logic at this stage Rodney, or are you looking at ethics too... or
something else!??!</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT
