English 8

We started off class today with silent reading and we worked on comprehension questions for the last chapters of The Giver.

As we are coming to the end of our unit on The Giver, we watched the 2014 movie version of the book. Luckily, it came available just in time for the semester! Many students enjoyed the film.  After the film, students were split into groups and completed a chart comparing the novel to the film. We finished class by discussing the similarities and differences.

Reminders: 
  • The Giver - Chapters 19-23 questions : due tomorrow, Jan. 9, 2015
  • The Giver Creative Project (maps/brochures): due tomorrow, Jan. 9, 2015
