We’ve been reading the novel Johnny Tremain. Students have been reading in class and some at home, as well as answering comprehension questions and taking notes on the characters. Additionally, we’ve had some class discussions about the cultural/historical situation of the story, which is the coming Revolutionary War. Students were challenged to express their opinions about two questions: 1) Were the American colonists disobeying Scripture by rebelling against authority? Explain why or why not. 2) Is it ever right to rebel against authority? If so, when? If not, why? Students had to back up their opinions with Scripture and quotations given in their Study Guides. What a great debate it was!
