The Idea
Earlier this school year, I came across a Wall Street Journal fluff piece on a phenomenon described as the "Ben Franklin Circle" - groups of (often) Millennials who gathered to discuss Mr. Franklin's virtues adapted to the modern world. I have often taught the excerpt from Ben Franklin's autobiography where he presents his habits and schedules in American Lit, so the idea wasn't new to me - but the club part was.
Last November, I also jumped on the bandwagon of the Bullet Journalers, also known as BuJo, an analog planner system that is taking the doodling mom racket by storm. I hosted a lunchtime introduction for students in September, and had quite a few show to learn about how the system worked. The result of that initial meeting is the test drive of our own Concordia Ben Franklin Circle, which will meet once or twice monthly to bullet journal and discuss Franklin's virtues - a little doodling and philosophy for our weekdays. Huge thanks to Senior Faith P. who is leading the charge for marketing our new adventure!
