PictureThe White Mountains of New England
Objective:  Evaluate three different definitions/perspectives on what leads to a successful life and formulate your own opinion as well.

Reminders:
  • Ind Study Honors:  Project proposal due today
  • Book Club Honors: Seminar during third period! Send me your seminar prep 
  • Seminar Make-up due Monday if you missed yesterday's class
  • Read "Franny" by J.D. Salinger by Monday


STARTER:  Success Podcast #3 Angela Duckworth +  discussion (no required journal entry here)
As you listen, decide to what extent Duckworth's definition of success could positively affect your own life

AGENDA
1. TURN IN THE STRANGER

2. Review your readings and highlight the following:
From "Catastrophe of Success"
  • Your favorite lines that either you disagreed with the most or resonated with you the most (perhaps the idea made you really think or question your own values, perhaps the idea is something you want to add to your own personal life philosophy- something you want to be sure you remember moving forward...)  

From "The Ambitious Guest"
  • A line that indicates the significance of the title of this story (Why is it called the Ambitious Guest? Who is the ambitious guest and what are his ambitions?)

3. Ungraded Seminar:
  • Read this handout and decide which seminar you want to join
  • Circle questions you want to pose from the list
  • JOURNAL # 6: When on the outer circle, take notes in your journal on insights from the seminar group.  You should be trying to capture as much of the discussion as possible.  

4. J.D. Salinger 
  • Trailer to "Salinger" documentary
  • Read this social and historical context to Salinger (author of this weekend's reading)
  • Time to read "Franny" 
  •  Time to review existentialism and re-take the quiz
