We have read up to chapter 19 together in The Giver. The idea of release has now become apparent. We wrote in our journals yesterday about whether or not Jonas's father is aware of what he has done to the lighter of the identical twins. We also speculated where the chute leads after a person has been released. A variety of opinions were given and supported citing evidence from the book. Homework over the weekend is:
1. Finish reading the book (only about 28 pages)
2. Quarter notes for chapter 20 due Monday, February 9th
3. Quiz Time 16-19 due Monday, February 9th
4. All quarter notes 21-23 due Wednesday, February 11th
5. Vocabulary test on Wednesday, February 11th.
6. Final on Thursday and /or Friday ... multiple choice and open response
Remember: Although my last period class received Quiz Time today, all assignments mentioned above were given with 2 or more nights allowed to complete the work.
Have a great weekend!
