Abstract
This master thesis explores the issues regarding black communities in Toni Morrison's novels Beloved and The Bluest Eye and their application to teaching Toni Morrison to high school students. These issues include internalized racism, double consciousness, and scapegoating. Finding theoretical support in writings of Michael Awkward, Christopher Douglas, Jane Kuenz, and Toni Morrison herself, to name a few, the first two parts of the paper focus on the motif of the community in both novels. The third part of the paper presents my approach to teaching Morrison's novels. It consists of a six period lesson plan that includes introduction to the works of Toni Morrison and readings of both of the novels. The classroom discussion focuses on the motif of community in both novels. The classroom activities are directed to students’ understanding of the issues raised in the novels and their ability to have critical opinion on them. The readings of Toni Morrison’s work are also utilized to raise students’ awareness of the world around them and improve their understanding of the authentic material in a foreign language.
