Graduation Speech Frame for Essay
Write an essay which could be read as a speech at
graduation explaining to classmates that they will be saying goodbye to many
things in their lives in the coming months: their childhood, their friends,
their family, the high school they've faithfully gone to for 4 years, their
neighborhood, etc. Then, give ideas about how to cope with those losses and move
on positively in life.
Choose 2 poems (of literary merit) that deal with
"saying goodbye," loss, or separation. In the essay, you'll refer to lines from your poems to
serve as ideas or evidence of the advice you've given.
