LIFE LINE ACTIVITY
20 Quiz bonus points!
You will be examining the life cycle in terms of your own life by constructing a “Life Line”. For your Rough Draft, you will need to take a piece of notebook paper, turn it lengthwise, then draw a strait line across the middle of the page. Label your birth-date on the far left, a projected death date on the far right and today’s date in the appropriate place to the left of the middle. You should fill in the left side by noting 10 important events from your childhood and adolescence. Examples are a memorable birthday party, a family move, an illness, beginning school. Finally project yourself into the future. Include 15 events after today. What would you like to have accomplished in 5 or 10 years? At middle age? By the time you retire? Before you die? Your projected future should be plausibly based on events that you have control over. (i.e. you can’t just win the lottery and retire at 18!) After completing your life line, compare with a partner and answer the questions below:
1.If you placed marriage on your life line, why did you put it where you did?
2.If you placed having children on your life line, why did you put them where you did?
3.Compare your life line with a partner’s. How similar/different were they? Give examples.
4.What will you do after you retire?
5.Why did you select your particular death date? Why did your partner?
6.Complete this statement: Death is: ______
7.If death were a person what would she/he look like? (physical and personal attributes in a short paragraph)
