Tuesdays With Morrie Lesson Plan

People face death every day, but it is when one becomes terminally ill that contemplating the meaning of a life, and of life itself, becomes most compelling. The emotional journeys of those who are dying are intensely personal and usually private affairs. Such was not the case for Morrie Schwartz, a beloved professor of sociology for many years at Brandeis University. Diagnosed in 1994 with Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS), he chose to share the experience of dying and the truths he had learned through living, and they became the subject of a book treasured by millions of readers. One of the most acclaimed memoirs of all time, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for four years, sold 14 million copies, and was translated into forty-one languages.
