-Review of intro to 'Conversion' section of William James
-Discussion in context of homework brought in on Cole's online article about hallucination
-personal free-write on a spiritual experience, beginning notes on title, and highlighted lines for citation in essay
-we are using James passages, a short short story by Hemingway, 1 or 2 online sources from Cole, and the proper reflection of Coles personal experiences and conversations with others (from talking religion at Dunkin Donuts with strangers, to excerpt/quote in the literary or biblical passages)

Lesson Comments
-Cole was exceptionally hush-hush about his spiritual experiences, almost to the point of shy, and asked me not to share our private discussion . . . he knows I've been in discussion with Cal and Johanna about his writing . . . and so he wants to do a good job on culling the content for this essay on spiritual experiences
