There are five essential questions I want students to ponder during this unit. Through the students' readings, discussions, writings, and responses to their peers' writings the teacher will be able to assess how well each student is, in fact, able to understand and make connections to the variety of elements they are studying.
The five essential questions are:
1.
|
What is grief and how am I affected by my grief?
|
2.
|
How have writers and artists before me used writing and art to understand, express, synthesize, and move on from grief?
|
3.
|
What elements are the Master writers using and how do they make me feel, think, picture, and understand grief?
|
4.
|
How can I use writing and art to understand, express, synthesize, and move on from my own grief?
|
5.
|
What elements of a Master writer (pick one we've studied) do I want to apprentice myself to (borrow, emulate, make my own) in order to make my reader/audience feel, think, picture, and understand grief as I see it?
