  3. On a piece of paper do the following different tasks:

  4. #1 • Ben Franklin wanted to make himself morally perfect and so he came up with 13 virtues he wanted to have. Think of two virtuous traits you want to have and write them down. Next to each, write down practical ways that you could implement these traits (virtues) in your life. • Example: • Patience – When driving remember that driving like a maniac will maybe get me to my destination only 5 minutes earlier at most, so just relax and enjoy the scenery.

  5. #2 • Write down 2 goals you want to accomplish by the end of your junior year.  They can be personal, academic, social, work-related, familial, etc.  After each write 2 things you will need to implement in your life - or begin doing in  order to meet each one of your particular goals.

  6. #3 Make a 24 hour schedule from midnight until midnight and state what you would do in your ideal, perfect schedule.  You must keep 4 hours of education in your schedule, but can determine during what hours you learn.  What would you do in your day to be the most productive and to be the best person you can be?

  7. #4 • Read Franklin's aphorisms on page 172 in the text book under your chair.  Select which one you think is the most true and explain why.  After reading them, create three of your own true, short sayings about the following three things: • a) School                  •   B) Parents               • C) Boy / Girl Relationships.  KEEP IT PG-13

  8. #5 • Read Ben Franklin’s epitaph (see attached) • Write your own extended simile about yourself. You should compare yourself to something that reflects a characteristic or trait that you enjoy. Example – Ben Franklin was a printer and compared himself to a book. If you are a dancer, you could compare yourself to a ballet slipper or something like that. Follow his model almost exactly. My example is on the next page.
