Fifth and Sixth Periods finished reading The Giver today. Third and Fourth are not far behind. Tomorrrow we will work on our projects for The Giver. I will provide the 6x6 black squares and the yarn, but you will need a white colored pencil to illustrate Jonas's world. You may use materials of your choice to represent your world, AS LONG AS THE SQUARE CAN STILL BE HUNG FROM THE YARN WITHOUT TEARING. The total project should represent the contrast between the world in The Giver and our world, especially from your perspective as a unique individual. We will hang the squares from the ceiling for the rest of the year. You won't believe how COOL it will look!
If you have your copy of Tuck Everlasting, begin bringing it to class as soon as your class finishes reading The Giver. We will explore the common theme of "What makes life worth living?"
