“Nature Versus Nurture Debate”
Conduct a classroom debate as to whether nature or nurture is the stronger influence on human behavior as suggested by the actions of characters in Good Omens.
The premise of the novel provides ample opportunity for reflecting on what influences human behavior. Based on events and character reactions in the text, decide whether nature or nurture is the stronger influence on human actions.
Be sure to connect your ideas to the text, citing by chapter and incorporating events, reactions, and direct quotations.
As peers deliver their positions, note their points and respectfully offer refutation.
Teaching Suggestion: The class might conduct a mock trial or jury deliberation, or individuals might write and/or orally deliver a closing argument for either the defense or prosecution of a character’s actions.
