Thank you, Mrs. Penalora Hello Everyone:You have a few things to do tonight:1) View all the Youtube videos I have listed below.2) Create your artistic illustration of the assent from the world of the senses to the realm of the intellect where "good" resides. See the descriptions below to get some ideas. Turn in tomorrow--no exceptions!3) Tomorrow and Wednesday you will work on typing up your project report. That means that you will come to class and divide up the tasks that need to be done. You will be graded individually AND as a group. Do a great job--don't let your team down.4) Reminder of things coming up: **Tuesday and Wednesday--work on projecThursday and Friday--work on UC personal statementsFriday--Career Center Worksheet due ANNOUNCEMENT: Regarding your art assignment--Listen, think in terms of a pyramid or an umbrella, or a human head. Socrates/Plato believes that "Good" exists in the realm of the intellect and that it is the supreme thing that //should// govern each individual, so "Good" should be at the top of any illustration you create. He says that those who rule a state should be "philosopher-kings" who not only seek and find (ascend to) the "good," but that they also descend back among the masses to educate the people without being too abrasive. When you make your illustration, you should have GOOD at the top, the assent moves from the world of the senses to the realm of the intellect, so however you want to construct it, create a world of the senses (sight, sound, touch, tase, smell) basically the world we live in every day, and an assent into the intellect (the brain and soul) and the pinnacle should be finding the concept of GOOD. You could make a graph or like I said, a pyramid, or ladder or umbrella, or a human head and show how the world of sight is what people should move away from to find the good.Some of you might like to see the connection between the film //The Matrix// and Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." It's called "//The Matrix// and the Cave" on Youtube: []**__For Monday, 12 October 2009:__**1) Please go to the following links to watch two short videos of interpretations of Plato's Allegory of the Cave Southern teacher's explanation of the Allegory of the Cave [|http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=allegory+of+the+cave&docid=1113064079539&mid=B8C1DD2E520744C4CC9DB8C1DD2E520744C4CC9D&FORM=VIVR2#] Animated version of Allegory of the cave [|http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=allegory+of+the+cave&docid=1087252988366&mid=212E73BF2A4A7E400C60212E73BF2A4A7E400C60&FORM=VIVR18#] 2) You will be creating an **art assignment** this weekend. Instead of drawing your interpretation of the cave in Plato's allegory, you will be drawing/creating your interpretation of the assent from the world of the senses to the intellectual world. In the intellectual world, be sure to include the concept of "good" as the highest point to achieve or the overarching idea. Remember that Plato says that all things beautiful and right come from the concept of good. Be sure to read Plato's/Socrates' explanation of "good" at the bottom of page 261 and the top of page 262. Try your best.**__Due Friday, 9 October 2009:__**1) Pleasecontribute to our discussion forum on "education" if you haven't already done so.2) Finish reading the Allegory of the Cave in Book VII.3) Tomorrow you will come to class and we will revist some final Plato topics and then adjourn to the College/Career center.Hello Everyone!
