The Giver

Yesterday, we began The Giver by Lois Lowry. This sci fi novel deals with a Community which exists devoid of choice. Jonas is an Eleven who is apprehensive now that the month of December is approaching. For homework, the team is reading each chapter and completing quarter notes in their vocabulary/note taking notebooks.

Tonight's homework is to read chapter 3 and complete quarter notes for that chapter. Students are also responsible for defining the vocabulary words and including the part of speech for each word on the list from yesterday. The students should know which words they are responsible for defining. The vocabulary test will be on Monday, January 12th. Keep reading!!
