Monday, February 27

A few things...
  • Slight change:  Your philosophy statement and proposal are due by the end of class Thursday (rather than Wednesday)
  • Honors: Seminar Thursday?
  • SLC Action Plan if you need it


Some choice...
Today we will introduce two additional topics for exploration: Sense of Place AND Success
(You will be able to dive deeper into one of two, based on your own quest for meaning.)


Starter 2.27:  Is there a place on this Earth that is particularly special to you? Describe it and explain why it is “your place.”


“Your Place on Earth”
  • How do we define “sense of place”?
  • What is your connection to place/land/Earth?


NOW:  Add to your starter.  How does your sense of place give you a connection to the planet and/or what it means to be human?



Success and the Human Quest for Meaning
Pair share: How do you define success? How does your society seem to define it?

Journal 2.27: SUCCESS PODCAST React to the Alain de Botton’s ideas and describe what success means to you.  Does your definition resonate with what you perceive to be your culture’s definition?
