Analyze Flowers for Algernon.
Students will read the short story version of "Flowers for Algernon," taking notes on the positive and negative aspects Charlie's life before and after the operation to increase his intelligence. Upon completion of the story, and after reviewing their notes, students will write an essay in which they take a stand as to whether Charlie was better off BEFORE the surgery and should not have had it done, or whether he was better AFTER - in other words it was a good idea.
