2. Self-Evaluation: Fill out the survey below

**TRANSITION To Whole Class Lesson of the Day**



Starter:  Discuss with a partner: What does the following quote mean to you?
"...is it the function of education to prepare us while we are young to understand the whole process of life? Having a job and earning one's livelihood is necessary, but is that all? Are we being educated only for that? Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation; life is something extraordinarily wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings.  If we merely prepare ourselves to earn a livelihood, we shall miss the whole point of life; and to understand life is much more important than merely to prepare for examinations..." (Krishnamurti 2).

AGENDA
1. JOURNAL #3:  "The Function of Education" by Krishnamurti
  • Select 1 or 2 quotes that stand out to you as thought-provoking, interesting, inspiring or with which you strongly disagree. Write them down. 
  • In your journal notebook, summarize what Krishnamurti claims the purpose of education is.
  • Be prepared to share your selections and explain what the quotes mean to you and why you chose them.

2. Class discussion on the reading

3. Watch Slam Poem: "Somewhere in America"
