The High Schooler's Guide to Happiness
Ventura, Sally
Educational Leadership, v77 n6 p78-81 Mar 2020
Ventura describes a "happiness unit" in her ELA class in which she asks students to examine what it means to be happy and how to increase one's mindfulness and confidence through self-reflection. The unit focuses on choice, engagement, and passion, as students research various positive psychology topics and create presentations, read articles, and write in journals.
