English 8: Blocks 7/8

Great class discussion today!

We started off class with a quiz on The Giver, and then spent a bit more time working on a crossword we had started last week. We then finished the movie "Pleasantville". After that, students were split into groups and developed a Venn diagram to compare the similarities and differences between the Utopias in "Pleasantville" and The Giver. We discussed some of our ideas as a class, and the Venn diagram was submitted for marks. After that, we started to read Chapter 14 in The Giver.
