Objective: SWBAT evaluate how Jonas’ new memories are affecting his social life.
Do-Now: What was your favorite outdoor game when you were a kid? (Example: Hide and Go Seek, Freeze Tag, Red Light/Green Light, etc.) What did you enjoy about this game? How could this childhood game be related to adult life? (Example: Criminals “Hide” and police “Go Seek” them; Drivers stop at “Red Lights” and go at “Green Lights.”)
Today: 1) Class will begin to read Chapter #17. Why is Jonas upset by Asher’s game? Why is Jonas unable to describe to Asher why he is so upset? How are Jonas’ new memories causing him to become further separated from his peers?
2) Students will finish reading Chapter #17. How has Gabriel begun to show progress? Do you believe it’s fair to “release” one of the twins based on its birthweight? Why can’t both twins remain in the community?
3) Writing Assignment: Pretend you are Jonas. Compose a letter to Asher explaining to him why his new game is inappropriate. Keep in mind that Asher has never seen was and doesn’t understand what it is. How can you explain to him why his game upset you?
EXIT SLIP: If you were Jonas’ father, how would you choose which twin got to stay in the community and which twin got “released?” Explain your method for choosing the “best” twin to stay in the community.
Homework: Finish your letter to Asher
