Is there a difference between happiness and fulfillment? What does it take for you to be happy? What does it take for you to be fulfilled? Are the qualities the same?
Each week, you are required create an original post and respond to two posts. These posts may be poems, song lyrics, short stories, Ted Talks, aphorisms, pictures, news stories, etc. Each Monday, a new posting will go up, and I will check to make sure that each student has responded to the previous week's post. What do you need to include in your response? That is up to you--what stood out to you? What moved you? What was your initial reaction? Do you agree? Do you disagree? Is there something you want to analyze? These are free responses, so the content is up to you. I am not going to set a limit on the length of the response--just something longer than a tweet and shorter than an essay. In addition to your own response, you must comment on two other students' response (you know, like dialogue or something).
I have a dinner party tonight with the IB board in Ann Arbor, my hometown. My 3 kids are sick and being nanny'd by a MALE NANNY. I'm ready to slip on my comfortable and sensible loafers/sneakers and head out. But first, gotta down a cold one (aka a refrigerated La Croix). Here's this weeks blog post.

This topic was suggested by a couple of different students: the season of Fall (my personal favorite). I labeled this a "creative post" because I don't want this to be just a list of things you like about fall--I want you to present it in a creative way. Write an ode to fall or several haikus. You could write a short story that has Fall as the main setting. Whatever you want as long as it captures the essence of Fall in a creative manner (great opportunity to explore sensory details).
Senior Year! THE LAST YEAR!!!!! In honor of this, I want you to create a senior year bucket list. What do you have left to do? Need to attend a football game? Want to participate in water wars? Shooting for a diploma in IB? Just want to pass a certain class? These do not have to be school related, but please keep them school appropriate. Please add commentary where necessary. We will revisit this in May to see how well you did.
