Labyrinths – Phillippe Mignon – mazes out of the letters of the alphabet
Father & Son Tales – Josephine Evetts-Secker

Daealus & Icarus – Greek Myth

Begin by giving each person a maze to work
-listen to comments
After they complete the maze –
How was the experience – frustrating, confusing, hard
What else in your life is like this experience?
What “winds around, changes direction & turns unexpectedly”?
-Legal system – furniture stores – department stores
–school (physical building & system in general) - JDC

Read the story –
Possible stop at the end of page 12 – ask what they think happens.
Discussion Questions:
Who is your Daedalus – who warns you, who gives you advice?
How do you determine to whom you listen?
Why didn’t Icarus listen to his father?
How do you find your way if you are in a maze/lost?
What do you have to prove?
What struggles have shaped you?
Is “do as I do” pg 12 good advice?What happens when we only follow orders/When we never go our own way?

New Idea for the JDC

What about if instead of short stories we took out notebooks and the opportunity for residents to express themselves creatively through writing and poetry. We could do writing workshops.
