- November's Green Book Writing Assignment. Here are the questions to choose from. Choose one of the following:
- Note: I didn't hand out green books, so write them up on your own paper (or type them) and staple the pages together. Make sure your name is on it. :)
- Describe the creative process. Discuss creativity in terms of being a scholar. Why is creativity so important and how can your creativity change the world? What creative projects do you like to do? What is your vision for using your creativity to change the world and to influence for good? Tell about a time when you have taken your knowledge and interest and created something meaningful to share your vision with others. (see President Uchtdorf's talk on creativity). Be specific and give examples.***
- Discuss Medieval Islam and the LDS perspective on Islam. How does your knowledge help you bridge the gap between fearing modern extremist Islamic terrorists and understanding faithful Islamic people. What insights do you have on this subject? Why is understanding the Muslim world important for a future leader?***
- Discuss the idea that God has sent light and knowledge to His people throughout the world throughout the ages. Use examples, including Mohammad. Why is that significant and how does that help you have love and tolerance for people of all religions? How can this understanding help you be a better leader and to change the world for the better?***
- Choose any question or topic from the colloquium on Walking Drum (should be handed out in class on Friday, Nov. 19th) and answer it with examples and discussion. Or, write about a specific theme or subject from Walking Drum that you want to, using examples. Back-up your arguments.
