Goal

Objective:
Students will engage with Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, to explore complex themes of individuality, freedom, and societal control within a dystopian context.

Learning Outcomes:
Critical Thinking: Students will analyze the concept of utopia versus dystopia as presented in the novel, discussing how the absence of choice impacts personal identity and societal structure.
Empathy Development: Through Jonas’s journey, students will reflect on their own values regarding freedom and conformity, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives.
Literary Analysis Skills: Students will practice identifying literary elements such as character development and symbolism
By achieving these goals, students will not only enhance their reading comprehension skills but also develop an understanding of social issues relevant to them.

Budget Narrative

Collier County Adult Education (CCAE) within Collier County Public Schools is seeking a $210 Classroom grant to provide our adult English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students access to real literature.

Reading books plays an indispensable role in the development of students. It fosters critical thinking, enhances vocabulary, and cultivates a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives. Through literature, students not only acquire knowledge but also develop empathy, allowing them to connect with others' experiences and viewpoints.

We are requesting a class set of 30 of Lois Lowry's Newbery Medal winning classic, The Giver.

The Giver has become one of the most influential novels of our time.
The act of reading is not merely an academic exercise; it is a profound journey that shapes character, intellect, and emotional resilience. By encouraging a love for reading, we empower students to become lifelong learners and thoughtful contributors to society.
