Agenda
1st and 5th periods: Happiness and Meaning  Personal Philosophy Statement and Art Piece work time

  • Ashley's Example
  • Another example: Watsky's spoken word poem: "Tiny Glowing Screens, Part 2":  This poem tells a depressing story about how the stars make us feel inadequate, about how — amongst seven billion people — each one of us is insignificant. However, upon closer look, Watsky seems to be trying to make meaning or find his purpose in the face of that feeling of inadequacy/insignificance. Think about how he defines meaning/purpose in this poem.

2nd and 6th periods:  Guest Speaker, Ty Churchwell, from Trout Unlimited to talk about Conservationism in action!
