Objective: SWBAT evaluate details in a scene and qualify each detail as representing utopia or dystopia.
Do-Now: What have you learned about Jonas’ society so far that you feel represents utopia? What have you learned about that you feel represents dystopia? Give examples.
Today: 1) Teacher will review utopia vs. dystopia and the class will construct a list of things from Jonas’ world which they feel represent each.
2) Class will begin reading Chapter #10, examining the details given about the norms of Jonas’ community as he begins his training as Receiver of Memory. Do these “norms” in Jonas’ world represent utopia or dystopia?
3) In pairs/groups, students will finish reading Chapter #10, looking for further details which can be qualified as either utopic or dystopic.
4) Teacher will ask class to construct a class list of details from Chapter #10 they found to be representative of utopia and details they found to be representative of dystopia.
Exit Slip: Why do you feel certain pieces of knowledge and certain experiences have been withheld from the people of Jonas’ world? How does this benefit the community as it attempts to maintain utopia?
Homework: Finish review questions for Chapter #10
