Final Film Project - Life, etc.

Opening Writing Activity

Today, we watched this video from Baz Luhrman. Here are the lyrics to the song.

You're essentially finished with school. In a little less than five weeks, you will walk across the stage (literally) and onto the next stage (figuratively) of your life. So...what do you know about life? If you could claim one motto as your personal statement, what would it be? What have you learned about life or love or behavior or family or friendship or courage or hope or strength or loss or garbage day that you feel you need to share? Take 10 minutes, go off to somewhere quiet (don't leave the room) and write something along these lines.
