Students will read the epitaphs and identify which epitaph represents the selected characters from the novel. Students will then write their own epitaph about someone. Students will present their epitaphs before the class. Students will be evaluated on how well they write standard English sentences while demonstrating the use of the descriptive writing style when writing their own epitaph. Explanations of modality, hemispheric preferences, and listening habits follow.
Auditory learners use their voices and their ears as the primary mode fun learning.
They remember what they hear and what they themselves express verbally. When something is hard to understand, they want to talk it through. When they're excited and enthusiastic about learning, they want to ' express verbally their response. And when an assignment is given orally, they will remember it without writing it down. These learners love class discussion, they grow by working and talking with others, and they appreciate a teacher taking time to explain something to them.
