Handed out Vision worksheets to students for warmup/take home.
Finished speech from last week and reviewed concepts of Church (Mystical Body of Christ, etc.) from last class (2 weeks ago).
Questions came up: What's a monk? Priests can't date? Religious vows? Different wine used for Eucharist for different weeks? Violence in video games (Black Ops)? Confession before Eucharist?
Read inside front cover of the missalette (sp): Guidelines for the reception of Eucharist for Catholics, non-Catholics, etc.
Students started drawing on large pieces of paper to answer, "For what does the Church hope?"
----
Next week: we will meet in the main Church for a Church tour next week at 9:30 (that's 9:30, not 9:40). The tour should take about 1 hour or so. If picking up, please come to the Church, not the school.

Finished class with a speech. Taught class how to project while speaking using an actual speech. All students stood at front of class (to cut down embarrassment). Divided up half of speech between students (rest can be read later). I edited the speech for length and some dicey topics.
