Timed Write (50 mins)
Use your outline to develop a well-developed essay addressing the above prompt. Make sure to look to the outline I provided you and to the sample essay about //The Boy in the Striped Pajamas// for guidance. I will grade this- bearing in mind that this is a first draft- and return these to you next week. At that time you may choose to keep your original score or revise and resubmit for a higher grade.

= = = Our New Unit! =  ==‍‍‍Essential Question: What are the possibilities and limitations of forgiveness?==


 * Anchor Text:** //The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness// by Simon Wiesenthal



‍ Read/Think:
Read each of the sample situations on the Anticipation Guide handout. Next to each, check either "Yes" or "No" indicating whether or not the situation deserves to be forgiven.



‍‍‍‍‍‍ Discuss:
After completing the Anticipation Guide, turn to a partner and discuss the situations you checked "Yes" on, and the situations you checked "No." What factors went in to making your decision?



‍‍‍‍‍ ‍Think/Write:
Choose one statement from the guide and __take a position__ on whether or not a person deserves forgiveness. Write a __thorough__ response on your blog at least 5 sentences long.

Include the word "forgiveness" in a thought-provoking title. Label the post "forgiveness."

Next time, we will link to Ms. Pickett's student blogs and take some time to respond to each other!
