Exploring Monsters, Names, and Legacies: A Reflection Journal

This journal prompts students to engage in thoughtful discussions and reflections on various topics. Students will explore the concept of monsters, contemplating what defines a monster and identifying figures they view as monstrous. They will also discuss family names, the significance of heritages, and the emotional weight tied to names. Additionally, students will evaluate the idea of excess, questioning if one can possess too much of a good thing. Lastly, they’ll imagine their own eulogies, considering their legacies and how they wish to be remembered. Engage in meaningful dialogue and self-reflection.
