The Nature of Happiness: Background
-
Activity 1: Happiness Poll
Using Mentimeter.com, students vote* on two areas that bring them happiness. As a class, discuss the findings.
*Students can contribute to this Happiness Poll, or teachers can set up a free account to poll their own students.
In-class alternative: Post the headings in class and have students place a sticky note below two headings of their choice, lining the notes up vertically. Once they’re finished, you will have a good visual of a graph and can discuss your findings.
Activity 2: Happiness/Gratitude ExperimentCan our actions affect our own happiness? Studies have shown that feeling gratitude for something or someone can actually raise the level of our own happiness. Have students put this to the test by following the example in the Happiness/Gratitude Experiment that can be downloaded from the American Sociological Association.
