Hello, Friends.
I don't know about you, but I have spring fever. I am ready to plant a garden and pack my bags for a summer get away, but we still have the opportunity for frost. Start getting your agendas together for the summer.
License and/or Permit
As you think of summer, be sure to have the right licenses and permits to enjoy your time. If you want to go fishing, be sure that you have a fishing license if you are dipping your line in public waters (and you are of legal age). If you take your family to go fishing on the White River, your license will cover your children. If your kids are fishing, and you are there, you will need a license. Indiana is a pretty typical state for these types of recreational licensing. Take a look here, and then compare this to your home state.
- A license gives ongoing authority to participate in something (a fishing license to use in a particular state public water for a set time)
- A permit gives temporary approval for an action (a building permit to add a patio)
International Friends Meeting Notes
International Bible Study: Monday, 8-9:00 PM, Zoom
We read/talked about Leviticus 17-20. These chapters continue to provide detail about how the Israelites were to live and maintain their relationships with God and with each other.
- Leviticus 17 is about food practices.
- Leviticus 18 specifies that the Israelites should not people should not have sex with family members and should protect their family from being victims. At first, we feared this would be an awkward discussion, but God is quite straightforward. We found ourselves smiling at the "you should know this" type of commentary.
- Leviticus 19 covers "various laws" that include extensions of the original 10 Commandments.
- Leviticus 20 lists the consequences of committing any of the sins talked about in the preceding chapters.
April 21: Three chapters to go!
American English Language and Culture: Thursday, 9:00AM- 11:00 AM, Zoom
Our conversation turned to talking about American English and comparing it to Korean. We leaned into talking about how our languages written forms represent our auditory forms. Korean evolved from Chinese writing, and many countries use Chinese written words within the various languages. These "words" are often pronounced in the various languages even though they have a common Chinese written
April 23: We are talking about conflict and resolution in our story. Does every story need a hero?
International Friends Wrap-Up: Memoir Month
Not everyone can make every meeting as we wrap up the year. Here is the end of year plan: follow along. Even if you are not coming to class, try these steps to better tell your story.
- April 9: Talking about a memoir. A slice of your life.
- April 16: Priming the pump: three things that stopped me in my tracks (from Now Write! Nonfiction Sherry Ellis) Notice three things that stopped you in your tracks throughout the week. What is common about these things? What is uncommon?
- April 23: What is the conflict? Who is the hero? Stories need conflict to move them along.
- April 30: Watch one. Do one. Teach one. How does your learning, experience, and then help someone else learn inform your memoir?
- May 7: Last day of classes...Pizza party! Bazbeaux Pizza 111 West Main Street, Carmel
We talked about the difference between an autobiography (a person writes the story of his or her life in a factual manner) and a memoir (a person tells a story from his or her life in a reflective manner that describes the feelings and lessons learned).
We recounted how English words are made of meaningful units or clumps.
April 24: No class--a tennis match
May 1: No class--teacher conflict
May 8: Tell your memoir story.
