Bucket List Writing Assignment One 8 th Grade Language Arts Day One

What is a Bucket List?

A Bucket List is a list of things you want to accomplish before you “kick the bucket” (what does that mean?).Bucket List Your Bucket List should be realistic, but challenging. – Choose activities that you will be able to do, but are not too simple or difficult.

Eliminating Activities from your List In order to eliminate one thing from your list, you must successfully complete that activity. Not completing an activity can leave you feeling disappointed in yourself and regretting that you would have worked harder to achieve that goal.

Eliminating Activities from your List

Bucket List At the end of the year, hopefully you will be able to eliminate some things from your list. Keep in mind that the year flies by and you will need to set time aside for these things that mean something to you. Make sure to challenge yourself, but be realistic. Homework: Fill out your bucket list!
