Unit Overview: Exploring Life's Lessons in Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
In this thought-provoking unit, students will delve into the heart of Mitch Albom's memoir, Tuesdays with Morrie, where themes of life, death, love, and human connection come to life through the powerful relationship between a retired professor and his former student. As they explore Morrie Schwartz's profound lessons on how to live a meaningful life, students will engage in critical thinking, reflective writing, and dynamic discussions about their own beliefs and values.
Through literary analysis, character exploration, and the identification of symbols, students will uncover the philosophical depths of Morrie's insights and examine how they challenge societal norms. From close readings of key chapters to creating visual collages and debating the relevance of Morrie's ideas in today's world, this unit will encourage students to think deeply about the human experience and their place within it.
Students will also engage in creative projects that blend their understanding of the text with personal reflections, culminating in a multimedia presentation or written work that synthesizes their learning and connects Morrie's lessons to modern life. By the end of the unit, students will have not only gained a deeper understanding of the memoir but also developed valuable life skills in empathy, critical thinking, and self-reflection.
