As my class is small, I didn&#39;t use all the pages of the book. The youth really got into the activity and it was a good way for them to practice working together and communicating with each other. Once we had the pictures in the right order, I then said &quot;Ok, share with me how this whole activity might in some reflect how the Church is supposed to be.&quot; They had lots of great responses -- repsonses I likely wouldn&#39;t have heard if I&#39;d just started with the question rather than the activity. If you try this, let me know how it goes.<br />Peace,<br />Brian<br /><br />P.S. Love the Haiku idea!Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10340051194193536329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31229073.post-15771711464605964202009-10-13T20:05:04.263-05:002009-10-13T20:05:04.263-05:00How about a follow up on this... did you use it? How did it go. It seems almost too hard, but maybe not.<br /><br />We had a retreat this past week and the entire focus was anger, and it was absolutely fascinating the way some of the youth opened up. I was an engineer before becoming a YP so artsy type stuff isn&#39;t really my deal, but I got this idea (which I thought would flop big time) of writing Haiku to express anger. When I get an idea that I hate, normally it is of the Lord cause I never would have done it.<br /><br />Anyway, anger Haiku turned out amazing and the kids articulated things they never would have shared in regular spoken form. So if you ever get a dweeby idea like Haiku, do not just write it off too quickly, lol.Jay Miklovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414242753908645401noreply@blogger.com
