Assignment 9: Carebears?

What is the issue you care about most in this world?  It keeps you up at night.  It gets you (ง’̀-‘́)ง when someone this passion.  This should be closely connected to the topic of your annotated bibliography which obviously makes this a preview of your speech in December.  This topic does not have to be profound but you should care so much about this subject that you could speak intensely on this matter without notes. Some of my topics I could discuss for a good 30 minutes might be: The power of narrative in society. Knowing yourself helps you navigate the world more easily. Comic Books are a gateway drug to literacy. Families don't adequately teach their children life skills: money, love, sex, home repair, etc. Dress Codes for girls means we don't trust our boys - both lose. The implications of Spiral Dynamics.

Assignment 18: Buckets and Buckets

Welcome to your first blog prompt for 2020! Yay! A bucket list is a list of everything you want to accomplish before you kick the bucket. That doesn't mean you can't have such a list for specific aspects of your life as well. To begin the year, generate your own bucket lists (three items each) - one list for high school, one list for college, and one list for life. Then, write at length about one item that is the most important of the 9. What are three items on your bucket list before you finish high school? What are three items on your bucket list before you finish college? What are three items  on your bucket list before you finish living?
