I'm not sure whether this is appropriate fodder for the list.  If not,
please let me know *gently* and I won't do it again.

As a 'technical word expert', I've been asked to suggest a title for a new
course at a local alternative high school.  I'm having trouble coming up
with something catchy enough to attract teenagers (14-19) to the course.

Course description:
Meets every day for 3 hours
Interdisciplinary
  (kids will get science, social studies, & English credit)
Lots of writing, hands-on projects, field trips
Subjects to be covered:
  Human biology (intro level)
     What are we?  Where did we come from?  How are
     we (like/different from) other critters?
  Developmental psychology
     Why do we (feel/act) the way we do?  Why don't our
     parents act (feel/act) us?
  IQ, aptitude, and personality testing
     How do the tests work?  Are they accurate?
     What can I learn from them?
  Personal values
     What are some common value systems (philosophy/
     religion)?  What are my values?  How do they
     (resemble/differ from) those of my (friends/
     family/people in other cultures)?
  Geneology? Other stuff?

The working title is 'Know Yourself'.  Yuck.  Other possibilities include
'Who Am I?'
'You, Me, Us, & Them'
'Personal Biology'
'People:  Science & Insight'

I feel brain dead.  It would be easier to write an installation manual from
a preliminary engineering drawing.

The principal just called me at 2:25pm Thursday, and he wants the title
tomorrow (Friday).  I get the digest version of this list, which doesnt
arrive until late afternoon, so please reply by email to katnagel -at- eznet -dot- net

Thank you,

@Kat

     /|      It's more fun to arrive at a conclusion
 \'o.O'      than to justify it.
