This week we have read Chapters 1-3 of The Giver and had small group and whole class discussions about the novel’s community and how it differs so much from our own. We are tracking vocabulary words they use and what they mean in our society as well as jobs the characters have and what they align with in our society. The students are generating thoughtful questions during these discussions and I can’t wait to dig deeper into this novel with them!

Homework:

• Read 20 minutes and respond on reading log
