Friday, March 2

Objective: SWBAT evaluate the effectiveness of a story’s climax.

Do-Now: One of the twins is going to be “released” from the community.  What do you think “release” is?  What happens during “release?”  Do you believe it is fair to “release” a newborn from the community?

Today: 1) Review Situational Irony and Climax

2) Class will read Chapter # 19.  What does Jonas discover about the process of “release?”  How does this discovery represent situational irony?  How can this event be viewed as the story’s climax?

3) Written Reflection: Now that you know what “release” is, how does your view on the events in the book change?  Look back at all the instances where “release” was mentioned in the book.  How did you view the events before, how do you view them now?

Exit Slip: How does “release” represent dystopia in the community?  Explain.

Homework: Finish Written Reflection
