December 12-happiness 2

We wrote about 100 words on our choice for our happiness/productivity goal for the week.

Here are some possible questions to answer:




  1. Describe what you did and how/if it helped.
  2. Describe any difficulties with your goal
  3. Was there any part of it that made you happy? Explain how it made you happy.
  4. If you weren't successful, why not? What stopped you?
  5. Will you continue doing this? Why or why not?
  6. If you are thinking of doing this more, will you make any changes?
  7. Did you share your goal with anyone? How did they respond?
  8. What do you think of this plan to consciously decide to make our lives happier. 
I then read Walden's "On Where I Lived and What I Lived For" to the class.
Then students filled out the following worksheet:
Choose one of the last five paragraphs (Numbers 6-10)
Write the paragraph number here:  _________

1.    In your own words, explain the paragraph in one sentence.
__________________________________________________________

2.    Now boil it down to one word.

Write down an example of this idea in the real world.

3.    On the other side of this paper, do some sort of artistic rendition of the message in the paragraph.  I’m expecting this to be well thought-out and carefully done. 

4.    Now explain your drawing and how it connects to the paragraph.
