Analyzing Societal Challenges in Poetry and "The Giver"

In this lesson, students will analyze poetry to uncover societal challenges and relate them to themes in "The Giver." The day begins with thought-provoking warm-up discussions on history, equality, and the nature of pain. We will then delve into chapters 11-18, discussing important events and vocabulary. The homework involves preparing for a quiz on those chapters and reading chapters 19-20. Students will also engage in TPCASTT analysis of given poetry, identifying societal challenges and their relevance both in the text and today’s society.
