The Truth of Happiness project allows students to take a deeper look at the concept of happiness and what it really is. It begins with reading the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This allows students to begin to see how one-dimensional, constant happiness means little without something to compare it to. The next step is to create annotated bibliographies, comprised of four class sources and three to four individual sources pertaining to the truth of happiness, in order to develop a deeper understanding from both a broad and more narrow point of view. Students then research the effects of technology on happiness and debate whether it is positive or negative in a structured academic controversy. Students complete an in class timed writing on technology and happiness, utilizing resources from the structured academic controversy and delving deeper into their own personal views on the topic in preparation for the debate. At the same time, happiness experiments are completed in which a single thing shown to improve happiness is changed in a student's life, showing how even little details can change your happiness. The final product for the project is a video showing students' truth of happiness, including resources from throughout the project and their own personal conclusions. At the end of the project, students have a comprehensive knowledge of happiness as it is known now and their own personal relationship with happiness.
