Things To Do Before We Die

i was attempting to sort through some of my school stuff (not that i got very far, mind you) and ran across the lists that i made into posters for my room. the lists were complilations made from responses to the following writing prompt: come up with at least 75 things you want to accomplish before you die. the answers ran the gamut from sweet to silly to downright hilarious. i put the posters up in the room, and as the students accomplished some of the easier ones, they signed their initials next to it.

they are broken up by period. enjoy!
