In Language Arts today the students worked in small groups to review various aspects of chapters 1 through 8 of The Giver. The groups added information to their pyramid of action, looked for examples of figurative language, and characterized what they know about Jonas so far.
The students were then given time to read chapters 9 and 10 as well as work on the comprehension questions for chapter 8. If they did not complete this by the time class ended, it was assigned as homework.
As the students have been told in class multiple times, I am not giving a final test on The Giver when we are done reading the novel. It’s too much information to cover and would make for a lengthy test. Instead, we will be dividing the book into thirds and taking a quiz on each section. The first quiz will be tomorrow focusing on chapters 1 through 8. The students will be allowed to use their novel on the quiz but not their interactive notebooks. They should use their interactive notebooks and their novel to study.
Have a great evening!
