Objective: SWBAT explain how the Giver uses his knowledge of the past to help the community make better decisions for its future.
Do-Now: Describe the worst physical pain you have ever felt in your life. What might life be like if we never had to feel pain? What would be gained by having a pain-free world? What would be lost?
Today: 1) Why is it important that we don’t forget about the past? How can we use the knowledge gained from the past to create a better future for ourselves?
2) Class will begin reading Chapter #14.
3) Students will finish reading Chapter #14 and completing the question worksheet.
Homework: Complete Chapter #14
Exit Slip: Do you agree with the community’s choice not to allow anyone besides the Receiver to have all the memories? How might this help the community maintain its utopia? What bad things might happen if everyone in the community had the same memories as Jonas?
