The Giver

We finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry and talked about the issue of freedom of choice that was highlighted in the book. This speaking activity was a bit challenging for the Korean students because they not only had to draw information from the reading but had to elaborate on an abstract concept. So we started out by talking about choices we make in our daily lives and what it means to have the freedom to do so. We also looked at societies that don’t/didn’t grant this freedom of choice to their citizens and why that was/is the case. After the discussion, the students were able to organize their thoughts into a journal entry and one of the students shared how thankful she was that God didn’t control us but gave us free will.
