Wednesday, February 23

Objective: Students will write eulogies for themselves.

Do-Now: Compose a "Persona Poem" about yourself:

Line 1 : your first name or nickname
Line 2 : 4 adjective that describe you
Line 3 : your relationship to an important person
Line 4 : 3 things you love
Line 5 : 3 things that scare you
Line 6 : 3 things you want to see
Line 7 : "resident of"...a place, time, or concept
Line 8 : your last name

Agenda: Today you will be imagining that you have died and, at your funeral, a eulogy will be read in your honor.  How will people remember you?  How will they describe who you were?  What memories will your friends/family have of you?  All of these things will be included in your eulogy.  First, we will look at an example of a eulogy and discuss what made the eulogy effective.  Then, you will compose a eulogy for yourself to be read at your imaginary funeral.


Homework: Finish your eulogy.
