Instructional Ideas

• Flesh out the writing assignment and provide time for brainstorming, drafting, peer review, and sharing
• Create an accompanying worksheet with some of the questions included in the good vs. evil lesson plan that learners can fill out to prepare for the discussion

Classroom Considerations

• Some of the lesson procedures feel a bit out of order; for example, you may wish to discuss the legend with your class before assigning the creative writing assignment

Pros

• Includes a full copy of the text
• Questions, application ideas, and extensions are provided (although brief)

Cons

• None
