How to Write a Eulogy- For Students
I created this guide for students on writing a eulogy because my students had to write a eulogy for their classmates. It was a very uncomfortable but rewarding process for my students, and they were very encouraged by both the writing process and the sharing process when they got to hear a eulogy about their own lives.
Enjoy!
