My New Lesson
Grade Level:

Subject:
Language Arts
Topic:
The Double - By Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Objective:
In this lesson plan, students will have previously read the book "The Double" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Mental illness and social rejection are a common theme is this book. Although the setting and location is different from modern day America, connections of self-judgement and feelings of isolation can be made. In today's lesson, each student will be addressing this from their own unique standpoint. Each student will write a one to two paged analysis on the topic of relating The Double to today's society. In this response students will include, how they think self image affects personal performance/confidence, how this is prominent in today's society (especially in terms of high school), how this is shown in The Double (using specific examples from the book), and how the two can connect to one another.
Other Information:
Keep these questions in mind while writing your analysis:
-How does your personal achievement rate compare from when you think you may fail to when you are confident in your ability?
-Does social rejection often times have an affect on your overall lifestyle and life choices you make?
-Would the outcome of The Double have ended differently had Golyadkin felt included socially and mentally?
-How are Golyadkin's reactions similar and different to those of modern day secluded people?
Public Notes:
*Students should recall ideas from not only things they have seen and learned from the book, but from personal experience.
