Recently, a friend of mine was putting together a lesson plan and asked me to comment on the following questions.  While they are very broad subjects, I’ve tried to touch on the base of each one.  Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  Who knows?  Maybe I’ll turn each topic into a post of its own.  Each subject has plenty to write about!
