We did a simulation activity by orchestrating a 'Ceremony of Twelve' in the classroom. Each student was assigned a number, and randomly assigned a particular job. The purpose of this was to evaluate any emotions/reactions cause by being assigned a job. It was also to show us the lack of 'equality' with job assignments because some jobs are more desirable than others. After the activity, students had a series of response questions about the class 'ceremony' activity.
We continued The Giver and read Chapter 9; Chapter 10 is to be read for homework. To finish class we worked on a Word Search/Crossword.
Reminders:
- Read Chapter 10 in The Giver for next class (Thursday, April 30, 2015)
