Hello,
Well the subject pretty much sums up my request. I'm a student of education preparing a thematic unit with 1984 and the Giver. (1984 would be the primary novel with the Giver as supplementary material). I was wondering if there are any teachers out there who've taught one, the other, or, even better, both together, who had some innovative ideas for activities and questions. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, I'm looking for poetry that deals with individuality, conformity, isolation (and other themes contained in 1984) as well as short stories that may relate to either The Giver or 1984. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!
