The Three Questions by Tolstoy or listen here (it's the third story from the bottom):

Find your favorite quote from the readings then
do one of the following:

-In the story by Tolstoy, answer the three questions yourself before reading the answers that the king comes to find.  Draw a graphic summary of the story or act it out.  In the end tell us - were your answers similar? Different? Why? Do you agree with the answers the king found?

-Find a favorite song by Bach. You can find many here. Play a portion of it in class (on an instrument or a recording), tell us why you like it.

-Chapter 7 of Music Talks states that "all things are made of thought", research ways to control your thoughts (or to put on the helmet of salvation).  Share with us what you learn.

-Find a song (new or old) that fits the description of a "classic" as described in Chapter 8 of Music Talks. Share some of it in class. Why do you think it qualifies as a classic?

-How do you increase your power?  Present you ideas to the class and see if you can use Tolstoy's story as well as Chapter 9 of Music Talks to back up your ideas.
