| Our Philosophy We are all students. We are all course members. There are facilitators and course members. (It's hard to call a 45-year-old executive who has major responsibilities a "student." He's a "course member.") There are "seminar participants." |

Tell the students to copy the photos that appear on the PHOTO ORDER web page.

Ask older students (grades 6 to 12) to connect the captions in a narrative or to write a composition dealing with as many of the photos as they can.
