Today we began class with some project work.
Each table received several post-its which had several happiness related themes written on them. On February 21 (last Friday), Andrew passed the happiness reflections we wrote for his class around to the class (randomly; you didn't receive your own), and we had to identify and select key themes that occurred in each reflection/experience that attributed to the author's happiness. We wrote these themes down on post-its, and the ones Andrew passed back today corresponded to the reflections from the other class. We then sorted these post-its into the six main/broad happiness categories we've identified as a class. These themes are shown in the picture above.
Andrew gave us the remainder of class to finish work. We will begin Unit 5 (or as Andrew put it, "Part 2 of Unit 4") tomorrow.
