Pre- Questions:

What is the most interesting class or hobby group you have ever participated in? What made it extraordinary?

Post- Questions:

How is the Italian class different than a group of friends who would get together on occasion at a Pub? Are the differences significant?

Communal Goals (speaking Italian and going to Italy) may be the overlapping of many individual dreams/objectives, how does a communal goal arise?

How did the inter-group bonds strengthen, what are the fibers that wove this community together ?

Clergy Person’s role– the Parson: When was he most effective? How was he effective?

Honest Friendships: Example of Jurgen Mortensen sharing with the Pastor about his “sport injury”, do you have folks (or a community) that you can trust with that kind of conversation? If so what about the friend or friendship makes that possible? And if not what would it take?

Inheritance: How did the trip to Italy redeem the inheritance left to the sisters?

Take Home 1: What are we “beginners” at and want to learn more with a community of others?

Take Home 2: What does the Maserati represent? What community objective would you sell your Maserati for?
