In Language Arts today the students spent time discussing the guided questions for chapters 6 and 7.  We also added information to our Pyramid of Action summarizing events from chapters 6 and 7. Then, the students were given time to characterize Jonas from The Giver. They were asked to come up with traits that describe him and provide two pieces of textual evidence for each one. If they did not complete this by the end of class, it was assigned as homework.

Have a great evening!
