PP: FFW
Begin with Achieve Article on Elie Wiesel. Students will begin class with a discussion on the nature of tyranny. What is it? Why is it still so common? What can be done to promote freedom and justice in our world today?

The instructor will then begin with a read aloud of Margaret Atwood’s “Bread.” Students will be instructed to pay special attention to the settings invoked and the nature of “Bread” as the story moves.

After a short discussion exploring Atwood’s ideas, students will break into groups to closer analyze the particular sections of Bread. Groups will be provided with a detailed hand out to track their conversation and prepare for a short presentation of their findings. How does this story connect to Elie Wiesel?
