Okay, I have a bit of time to myself here, so I'm going to post a few bits and pieces I have been mulling over for course topics.

1.) Unit: Identity
- Virtual vs. Reality = Who are you on AOL, Facebook, and Myspace vs. Who you are in class, in life, in the park
- Masking = Is there such a thing as an identity? Or is it a collection of masks? Is identity just your particular theme choice in masks?
- Factors = In shaping our identities, where do we draw our ideas, our concepts about who we should be and why?

2.) Unit: High School
- How the teens in high schools look to reate their image for four years and usually end up questioning it before leaving
- The system we learn in high school of social standards and gossip and how it is a lifelong plague
- Grading and sheep

3.) Beauty
- Physical or Emotional? = Which one truly wins? Is there a gender dispute at the core of this idea?
- Vanity (Dorian Gray) and Modesty (No example yet)
