Lesson: A Romantic Guide to Transgression for high school English Literature

last modified 2007-03-29 15:27

People have roles within their societies and are aware of the expectations inherent in those roles. However, an individual may assert that transgressing rules may be critical in the pursuit of a higher purpose, regardless of the consequences. Students will explore roles within their family, culture and society to determine the essential rules as well as the personal and societal consequences of transgressing them.

They will begin by looking at long-held traditions with First Nations society, and then look at examples in literature (Romeo and Juliet) as well as contemporary examples of transgression as seen in current events.
