During our ALP session, an individualized practice class intended to give extra help to English 100 students, with our professor, we explored different ways to potentially start the introduction of our research project. One of the alternative ways to start it was to open with a scene! We took one moment from our week of three good things and focused on how can we relate it to positive psychology and how we can develop a descriptive scene from it to use as a real example for our research like we had done before. I do think this is a really creative approach and a great attention grabber for the project, but I personally chose another approach, so instead I'll be posting my alternate scene introduction here on my blog. Enjoy my negatively positive scene from the October 31st entry of my three good things post.

As you may already know from my previous post, positive psychology is the theme my professor chose for our class for our research project. The concept of positive psychology as well as the "Three Good Things" project was founded by Dr. Martin Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania alumni. In this post, I'll be writing a metaphorical letter to Dr. Seligman telling him how the project effected me the week I took part in it and some things I discovered while doing so.
This might be my favorite post so far! For this week's blog assignment, my class was asked to write down three good things that we did or had happened to us at the end of that day, everyday for a week. The Three Good Things project was conducted for positive psychology research, positive psychology being founded by Martin Seligman. It's purpose was to improve the quality of life of those who did the experiment and help them acknowledge the good things in life no matter how big or small. Another great resource to use for adding some positivity in life is the Greater Good in Action website, if you want to check that out. My own personal experience and findings while trying Three Good Things will be used in my own research project about positive psychology.
