Your Bucket List

What Would You Do?

Stop putting your dreams off for "some day" . . . Take inspiration from the movie "The Bucket List" and ask yourself: If I had one year left to live, what would I be sure to do? Create a list of 100 things you want to do before you kick the bucket and start crossing items off your list, today.

Maybe you want to . . .

1. Write a script for a TV show
2. Do stand-up comedy
3. Write a children's book
4. Go camping
5. Ride a gondola in Venice
6. Learn how to salsa dance
7. Host Saturday Night Live
8. Visit a Renaissance fair
9. See the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
10. Witness a solar eclipse

It's never too early or too late to create a bucket list. So, whether you're 10 or 98, use this lens for inspiration and for guidelines on how to get started. You'll also find over 380 things you can consider adding to your bucket list (suggestions to get your creative juices flowing).

"Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed (98 3/4% guaranteed)." - Dr. Seuss



Your task today: You will create your own Bucket List on your class blog.  Click on the link above to get some ideas.  Then, go to your blog and start your post.  You will have the class period to write, so don't feel hurried.  Even if you don't finish today, you should have a good start by the time the period is over.  Your final Bucket List should have 100 things you would like to do before you die.  Use the title "My Bucket List." And in the labels at the bottom of the post box, type Bucket List.
