We will continue watching The Bucket List
The Bucket List is about two terminally ill men, played by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, who decide to complete a list of things they want to do before they die. They go on an adventure together, forming a deep friendship and experiencing life to the fullest.
Once done, we will discuss what has happened this far and your reactions to the events and characters.

Choose the broad or the narrow path to discuss The Bucket List
🕒~20 minutes
Both will lead to the same exit ticket: are bucket lists a journey that takes us somewhere new or something people simply rush to complete?
Part 1: Discuss the questions together with your classmate(s):
What made Carter upset about Edward’s decision to hire a prostitute?
Why do you think Edward pushed Carter away after they arrived at Edward’s daughter’s home?
What is the difference between Carter’s and Edward’s coming home?
Part 2: Ask each other questions
Speak with each other about Edward and Carter's journey. One of your answers is your exit ticket:
Do you think bucket lists can become something people do quickly without enjoying them? Why?
"I think bucket lists can become tasks because…"
"I do not think people rush their bucket lists, because…"
Do you think bucket lists help people try new things? Why or why not?
"Yes, because bucket lists can…"
"No, because some people might…"
Remember to:
Listen actively
Ask open-ended questions (why do you think that ...?)
Build on ideas (That made me think of ...)
Summarising and transitioning (So what you are saying is... and now, let's talk about...)
