My students truly enjoyed crafting this essay, because it was really fun for them to write from Jonas's perspective. Students empathize with Jonas and the frustrations he experiences as the receiver of memory. I think this is why students have so much fun writing his speech; because they want to bring justice to Jonas and the people in the community.
This is a great end-of-unit final writing assignment or it can be used as a mid-way through the unit writing assessment. This essay is great for teachers who want students to practice structured writing in a creative way. :)
