Lesson Plan

We recommend starting and ending classes with a discussion. Depending on class size and student personalities, you may want to have an open, class-wide discussion, or have the students talk with partners or in small groups. In very small classes you can ask the questions directly to the students.

Have students discuss the following questions. [15 mins]

Discuss

What do you know about Steve Jobs’s background? What changes have you seen in our world that were triggered by Steve Jobs and Apple? How do you feel about Steve Jobs death? Do you think his death has an impact in the world as much as his life did? As a college student, Steve Jobs had many doubts on how he wanted to lead his life. Do/Did you have the same problem?
