While this wouldn't necessarily cause students to suddenly develop suicidal tendencies and/or thoughts, those who were already struggling to begin with might take advantage of the situation and could further push them closer to making that decision.
I definitely don't think that it was a smart move by the teacher, regardless of whatever age the students were or whether they were on France or not. For some people, this assignment could really hit too close to home.
This reaction is probably based towards a North American perspective and I can see some merit in it for a at risk individual to write out their reasons for dying, just don't feel that it's appropriate as a school assignment.
