In Language Arts today, the students reviewed the last events in the rising action of The Giver. I have attached the guided questions to this blog post. The students also listened to reading for the climax of The Giver. We discussed how the author, Lois Lowry, used the story device, building suspense, to intensify the climax of the story. The students were also given the results of their vocabulary test. Test retakes will be Tuesday, January 20th at 7:15am and Thursday, January 22nd at the end of the half day.
Homework:
1. Guided Questions
2. Finish Reading Chapter 20
3. All late work for 3rd marking due tomorrow
4. All of The Giver books are due back on Tuesday, January 27th. Any books not returned on this date will need to be purchased from students who have misplaced them.
Have a great evening!
