The Giver Journal Questions
Engage students with thought-provoking questions about The Giver. These free journal questions are a great way to start off the class and get students processing what they read about in previous chapters. It relates the themes of the book to their own life experiences and gives them time to write quietly in a journal for you to collect at the end of the week.

This resource includes a Google doc (and PDF as a print resource) to help your students not only compare and contrast the movie with the book, but also infer why the director and writers changed the novel so much.In Lois Lowry’s Newbery Acceptance Speech she implied The Giver would never be made into a movie. Two decades later it was adapted for a movie, though. Some of the techniqu

The Great Gatsby journal prompts
Each chapter of The Great Gatsby leads to many questions... and many students using Sparknotes in order to answer those questions. With these journal prompts, students must cite the text, understand it, and relate it to important literary concepts. This keeps students a little more motivated to read considering the answers require some thought and paying attention during class discussions will go a long way.

Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell hook/pre-reading slides and prompts
The writing problem I am working on is ideation. Most of my high school students struggle to take a kernel of an idea and grow it, and helping my students with ideation proved to “make a qualitative difference to the students’ future writing” (Wallack 28-29). Bean identified a related “student problem” as “failure to assimilate the unfamiliar; resistance to uncomfortable or disorienting views.” His recommended “helping strategy” includes drawing “analogies to other times when students have had

1984 - Dictatorships Journal/Research Essay
This activity is geared as a follow up activity for students after they read George Orwell's 1984. I use a song by Bruce Cockburn (If I Had a Rocket Launcher) to go into the issue of humans rights abuses in Guatemala in the 1980s, and use Guatemala as a case study in which to compare actual events to the events in the novel. Students then choose their own regime (from a list of 31) to complete a journal or research paper. They compare and contrast with incidents from Orwell's book. A great lesso

This is a good way to drive home important themes, such as judgement and criticism, fear of death/aging, and criticism of authority.
