The Last Lecture-Reader Response

Use full sentences and as many details as possible. Answer the first 3 questions on your blog after you have read the opening chapter of the novel:

1. What is the author's purpose for writing? For whom is he writing?
2. Consider the way the book has been put together (particularly the way it is divided). How does the way it has been put together (its structure) help the writer's purpose for writing?
3. Describe Pausch. Explain which of his character traits makes you want to listen to him more or less.


Then, make notes on each section as you go.

1) What was the most important lesson you learned from the section?
2) Why might this be an important lesson for you -or- how can you connect Pausch's wisdom to your own life?
3) Explain what thoughts or questions this section causes you to have.


After finishing The Last Lecture, write a 2-3 paragraph response. What is Pausch’s legacy? What is your response to hearing his story? How does hearing his story affect the way you feel about your life and priorities? What type of legacy are you working toward achieving?
