In Session 2, we watched scenes from "A Night to Remember", the British movie about the Titanic disaster. The movie was based on a book by the same name. The author interviewed numerous Titanic survivors and the depiction is closer to what really happened than the more recent movie.
We discussed the characters in the movie and the decisions they made when disaster struck. Breaking into small groups, the students in each class voted for the character they felt was most heroic, and the one they felt was most cowardly, and why. Then each student was given a worksheet to write about their impressions.
The point of the Session was to imprint in the students minds the concept of a heroic nature. In later sessions, we'll begin to break down the components of that concept by investigating in detail the core values that are necessary in taking on a heroic life journey.
