Yes. See how I have described individual video assignments below.
(1) I'm inviting them not to write out and read their response word-for-word. But I have to grade more leniently with this informal presentation.
(2) My prompts ask for quotes or disagreement or application.

Finished the novel "Saint Maybe" (1991) by Anne Tyler. Recommended by Eugene Peterson in Take & Read. Born in Minneapolis, went to Duke. Like Godric and The Diary of a Country Priest, another book about saints, or those trying to navigate life with only the weapon of meekness.

Finished:
Madeleine L'Engle, Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage (The Crosswicks Journal, Book 4) (1988). A comforting and thought-provoking vision of an artistic and Christian marriage. A kind of a way to be mentored is to read a book like this.

Richard Baxter in 1656 said a 30-60 minute walk before dinner was sufficient exercise for most people.
"An hour, or half an hour’s walk before meat, is as much recreation as is necessary for the health of
most of the weaker sort of students" (The Reformed Pastor).

It's good to want to be a pastor and ... "Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach" (1 Timothy 3:1-2). Gregory the Great in 590 comments "while praising the desire ... the Apostle enumerates the necessary virtues."

A huge issue for Teresa of Avila in 1566 was the Spanish Inquisition Roman Catholic hierarchy not wanting a woman to pray unscripted prayers let alone write books. Some priests advocated for her while others tried to ban her. The original books before censorship are interesting!

I used to just not teach "emotional intelligence." I really need to start warning my students away from using it proactively because it is so pervasive. Wisdom or love can't be measured accurately and needs a moral framework.
