Today, each group presented their Wu-Wei pictures to the class. After this, everyone worked on the day's Opening Question which was: " Which picture do you personally believe is the best example of wu-wei?" Then, the groups worked together to answer the questions on the green sheet, as they applied to The Te of Piglet
Our group's answers were:
(1) The main purpose of this article is________
Explain the Te and how Piglet is a good example.
(2) The key question that the author is addressing is________
How Piglet exemplifies the Te.
(3) The most important information in this article is________
Man was once equal with nature and by expressing humility (as Piglet does) we can reach humanity's natural state once more.
(4) The main inferences/conclusions in this article are________
Piglet is a good example of the Te because of his quality of character that he displays in The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. He may be small, but he is strong.
(5) The key concepts we need to understand in this article are________
Man's ego has evolved until he (falsely) believed that he is somehow greater than all the other creatures. The teachings of mankind have also changed for political reasons.

(8) If we fail to take this line of reasoning seriously, the implications are________
Humanity will further become estranged from nature and obsess over materialistic "things."
