Stories of Love
In the previous post we read that "All human acts are moral acts", and "if we want to be better people, we must make the most of the moral opportunities before us."
I suppose, then in many stories of love, we will be able to see moral opportunities. I decided to design an activity that would answer that.
The activity involved a particular Ate Faith (a name which I based on the actual name of the fourth year guidance counselor, Faith) who supposedly has a TV show that reads letters and gives advice. I then tasked each group to read the letter then to (1) identify the moral dilemma and (2) give sound moral advice: that is, what the loving response is to such a dilemma and lastly (3) to present them in class.
Let me emphasise that these letters are fictional. Any similarities to real life situations are merely coincidental.
Hmmm. Do you have any favourite letters? What's on your mind? The next seven posts will be on the letters themselves to give opportunity to people to voice their opinions in each case. ΒΆ 5:38 pm
