Dylan Thomas, 2Pac and Grey's Anatomy Unit

Talking about death is always difficult, especially for young people. The aim of this material is to encourage students to think and talk about the topic of death by introducing various sources and different ways people deal with tragic losses.
I hope it will be of use to you. My students were more than engaged during the lessons.

• In the introductory part, students discuss traditions, celebrations, and ceremonies associated with birth, marriage, and death
• read a short biography of Dylan Thomas
• listen and fill in the gaps in the text to the poem by Dylan Thomas - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
• answer questions to understand the song
• compare and Contrast - the poem by Dylan Thomas and song by Tupac Shakur (Me Against The World)
• TV SHOW - Grey’s Anatomy - discussing a short video in which Dr. Miranda Bailey captures the opinion Dylan Thomas voices in his poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night.”
• writing: compare and contrast Dylan Thomas’ “Do not go Gentle into that Good Night”, Tupac’s “Me Against the World” and Grey’s Anatomy episode, recording the similarities and differences.
• additional activity
• materials and resources
