You’ve just learned about TRANSCENDENTALISM
We’ve talked of how Americans through the decades change their values fitting their world.
You now are living in your present world: • • What are your values? What are your ideas of living? What’s important? What is the best way to live life?
YOUR ASSIGNMENT. . .
TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR LIFE PHILOSOPHY.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY • 50 POINTS • TYPED PAPER • DUE (see class)--NO EXTENSIONS
LIFE PHILOSOPHY • YOU WILL HAVE a couple CLASS PERIODS TO WORK ON IT. • THE REST IS ON YOUR OWN. • YOU WILL TITLE YOUR PAPER AS AN “-ISM”
THE TITLE: your own ‘ISM’ • In one word, sum up your belief. • Name it. • For example: industrialism perfectionism love-ism playism • Avoid first/last nameism’s
• What is the perfect way to live life? • What is the perfect world? • How can we/you/I try to live life to the fullest? • YOU TELL ME.
These are great papers. You each have a unique understanding of what is important. I greatly look forward to reading these next weekend. I will talk to you more about these when I have a voice again, Monday. Start thinking and discussing what is of value to you: money? Love? Free time? Family? Hard work? The list goes on. Have your ideas, at least partially organized for Monday.
Paper requirement are the same as the value paper from earlier: • 1” margins • Header (IN margin) • Heading (on left of first page only) • Title (centered of page one) • Double spaced
The rest is on the Hand Out. You are required to have your rough draft proofread and will be turning that in. An additional edit by your parents is extra credit (must be signed).
