Objective: SWBAT explain how Jonas is becoming more like the Giver by feeling more distant from his family and peers.
Do-Now: Why is it important for people to have choices in life? What might it feel like to have everything chosen for you? What problems occur when people are given choices? (How can choices be a BAD thing?)
Today: 1) Class will begin to read Chapter #13. Why is Jonas angry that he is not allowed to have choices? Why is Jonas scared of people making the wrong choices? What does this fear say about the influence Jonas’ society has had on him?
2) In groups, students will finish reading Chapter #13, looking for further examples of Jonas becoming distanced from his family/friends.
