The Last Lecture is a great book for high school students. For the past few years, I have been using the book with high school seniors. The content of the book lends itself to many personal reflection activities that most of the students seem to enjoy.
Here is a writing prompt that I share with the students.
1. “It [football] helped make me who I am today.” (page 35) – What is the “it” in your life. Describe your “IT.”
a. What is the history of “it’? How long has “it” been in your life? How was “it” introduced?
b. Describe your commitment to “it”? How does “it” impact your life?
