Objective: Students will be able to describe how a eulogy can be used as propaganda.
Journal: When we give speeches at a person’s funeral, we usually focus only on the positive attributes of that person and his/her life. Why do you believe we do this? Why do we omit things that will make the person look bad? Why is it easier to criticize a living person than someone who is dead? What do you think someone would say about YOU at your funeral if you were to die today?
Agenda: 1) Note-taking: Eulogy: a speech written in honor of someone who has died
Watch Obama's Eulogy for the Victims in Arizona
2) Class will read Chapter #9 of Animal Farm, focusing on Squealer’s eulogy for Boxer on pg. 115 and discussing the propaganda found in this eulogy.
3) Complete Chapter #9 Question Worksheet
Homework: Compose a eulogy for someone you have lost. This could be a person, animal or even a beloved object.
