English 8: Block 3/4 and 7/8

Safe travels to those of you that will be away on the band trip!

We started off with silent reading, and went over the last set of chapter questions from The Giver. After that, we discussed the similarities and differences between the novel, The Giver, and the movie. Students also made a chart that was handed in for marks. Lastly, I introduced the structure and the topic for the literary paragraph you will be writing. We spent the rest of class  brainstorming and working on the plan for the paragraph.

Reminders:
  • The Giver Test: Monday, May 25, 2015 (STUDY THE VOCABULARY!)
  • Literary paragraph: Monday, May 25, 2015
