Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Students on my lifestyle course -- I've fixed the topic for next week.

Some of my students have asked about something called "Muggles". As I understand the term, it's simply a way of saying "people that aren't like me".

So that's the subject of this week's essay, and next week's seminar. Write a hundred words all about the people who aren't like you. What motivates them, what abilities they have, what you can gain by understanding them.

Please have the work in my in-tray here by Saturday evening.
Next week's seminar will be on Monday once again. I'll be in my room all day, so whenever you can come by will be fine.

I'll see if I can make any vacancies for new students over the next day or two.

As a muggle-born witch, I have had the opportunity to reside in both worlds. Muggles aren't to be looked down on for being inferior, they are simply different from the people and creatures who are born with or develop magical ability, and they lives their lives differently. Those who do have magic ability are responsible for using it in such a way that it benefits others, magic and non-magic alike. All people/creatures are sharing this same space, and there must be a reason for our differences. We should learn to work together for the good of all.
