The header will be your name(Justin Vazquez), and the title of the assignment if you want to put it in. (1 point)
You have been told you have only 6 months to live from the day you are given this assignment.
(IF you cannot do this assignment for some reason, you may write a letter from your older self to your younger self. What do you wish someone had told you when you were younger? This will be worth 10 points. Please still complete Section III. This will give 13 points total for the assignment. If you do Section II, that will bring the total up to 15 points.)
Section I (10 points total, 5 for service instructions, 5 for letter/eulogy):
You must plan your service: where the service is to be held, how you would like it to be (such as specific music to be played, flowers, if any, etc). Also include who you would want to be present at your service. Indicate at what point the person of your choosing should read the letter/eulogy. If you are choosing not to have a service or to have a more non-traditional service/gathering, be sure to let the reader know why and what you do want done. Include instructions as to whether you want to be buried and where, or cremated (if ashes are to be given back…to whom and what should they do with them?). Please include any other information you think people might need. This will be done as a separate letter.
What would you like to say to others, a personal letter, or what would you like to be said about you (a eulogy) at your funeral, cremation ceremony, wake, etc.
Choose A or B or C below (please indicate in your paper which one you are choosing):
A. Write a letter you would like someone to read at your funeral ceremony. Write it as if you were going to give it to someone to keep for you until your passing. There will be two letters. The more public letter is what you would like to say to others in attendance. Be sure to include who you would like to read the letter. Write it exactly how you want it to be read (usually written in first person, as if you are speaking to the people in attendance). The second letter will be your instructions, as listed above.
OR
B. Write a letter to one or two people that will not be read at the ceremony, but rather to let him/her/them know what you are thinking and feeling about your eminent passing in six months. A second letter would be written giving your instructions, as listed above.
OR
C. Write a true eulogy. What would you like to be said about you at your funeral? This would be written about you (also known as “third person”). So for this one you have to think about what people might say about you after you are gone. Include whether this will be done by one or several people. Include their relation to you and what you think they might say about you (identify each person if more than one).
Section II (2 points):
(This is to be written as if you passed at the 6 months mentioned above)
Write what you would like printed in the newspaper after your passing. This is known as your “obituary.” You may want to look in the local newspaper for examples of these short obituaries. Feel free to include a picture. This will be fairly short.
If you dont actually want an obituary printed in the paper, write something that you would want printed in the little program they normally hand out at services for the dead.
Section III (2 points):
At the end of your paper include a section on what you have learned from doing this project. What you say in this section has no bearing on your grade, I just want you to express your opinion (good or bad!).
