The Bucket List

Objective: I can research the action steps to accomplish a

goal.

Now that you have already made your Bucket List, research

ONE of the items on it, and PRESENT it to the class.

Wait… why are we doing this? Isn’t it kind of morbid?

No – at least, it’s not intended to be macabre. It depends

on your perspective. This project is about setting goals,

figuring out how to accomplish the goal, and living out

your dreams. (#YOLO)

Step 1: Research an Item From Your Bucket List

choose ONE item from your list, and begin finding

research sources. Pick a task that you can actually

research and that isn’t too easy. (For example, “read a

book” or “make up with that friend” won’t really work, but

“Go Skydiving” or “Visit Mecca” are complex and

interesting.) The ideal task would have multiple steps or

require effort/action.

Step 2: Present Research Findings

Finally, you will make the world’s shortest presentation (really) in which you tell us what your item is

and teach us how you would go about accomplishing it. (Again, telling us “why” you chose it is optional.)

You have a maximum of 5 slides and 4 minutes for this.

When you make your slides, BE SPECIFIC: tell us dollar amounts, websites, street addresses, who would

drive you, who would go with you, and what supplies or training you might need. You could even TEACH

us about the topic and any techniques or how-tos that could help us to do it also. The point of the

presentation is to make that goal “real” and for yourself AND others.
