"Today," Miss Bennet said, clasping her hands behind her back, "is our last class before fall break, which means that we are midway through term. Thus far, we have been focusing on flaws in logical thinking; for the second half of the semester, we will concentrate more on ways to build a logical argument, problem-solving, and the like. Though I daresay we will still find ourselves looking at fallacies now and again."

"Therefore. Today I should like to have a brief discussion on anything regarding the first half of term - topics you felt were useful, areas you feel were not, or matters which were unclear, where you should like some enlightenment. Then, because I am not entirely as cruel as it may seem, we will be watching a film in which twelve average citizens are to determine the fate of one young man, if they can set aside their own preconceptions long enough to see the truth. After which, I should like for us to discuss the film, and the ways in which logical arguments played a starring role."

She offered a playful smile, at the last sentence. "So perhaps I am slightly more cruel than I seem? Nonetheless, let us begin."

What has gone right? What hasn't? Are there any concepts you would like for Miss Bennet to explain again? Have you found the precepts of class useful in other areas of your life? Is there anything in particular that you are hoping we might focus on, for the second half of term?

//I've enjoyed class t'this point,// Jono noted, leaning back in his seat a little. Clearly, he was more at-ease with this talking-to-the-class thing than he had been at the beginning of the semester. //But I'm curious, will we be gettin' th'opportunity to practise forming these arguments, next term? We've been focusing quite strongly on theory to this point, but I find it's easier to get a grasp on things if we're puttin' that theory to use.//
