Searching for meaning, fulfillment and happiness




Bellringer...Figuring out what you want to read this quarter (and perhaps beyond...)
(10 minutes).

Answer the questions below and then hand it in to Mr. Wesley when finished.

1) What are your interests in life? What excites you?
2) What is something that you don't know that much about, but would like to learn more about?
3)What do you want to learn more about this year? 4) What are some ways that you feel personal choice reading could help you find enjoyment and fulfillment?  
5) Finally, during our independent reading time in the first quarter, what do you think you want to read?

Note: Independent Reading Time (15 mins)...will be moved to the first 15 mins of class tomorrow.  Make sure you have something you want to read.
