哲學故事課程（高中）

***(IMPORTANT: Learners are asked to keep cameras on in this social, discussion-based class.)*** 

In this 4-week discussion-based club/class, learners will engage in regular dialogue with others, examining the power of stories and metaphor to convey important messages, truths, and lessons. 

Schedule:

October 6: The Power of Stories and the Nature of Truth

In this lesson, we will talk about the powerful role that stories play in revealing important lessons to humans. We will then explore select folktales that examine the relationship between the existence of truth and falsehood in the world.

October 13: The Collection of Knowledge, Truth, and Wisdom

In this lesson, we will explore the nature of truth by examining ancient tales and philosophies that warn against any one person thinking they alone have all knowledge or wisdom, but everyone has much to learn from others.

October 20: Stories Warning about Tricksters

In this lesson, we will explore stories that aim to raise our awareness of tricksters, but use animals as metaphors, which help to make the messages more universal and timeless.

October 27: Stories with Moral Themes

In this lesson, we will explore ancient tales with moral themes.


**It is also important to know that this class will not be a lecture, but will be discussion-based and learner-centered.  My role will be to engage the students with questions based on a basic outline and to serve as a guide/moderator to keep us on task. The main goal will be for students to engage in discussion with each other and share their own insights and views. Given our class goals, cameras are required to be kept on. Thank you! :)
