English 8: Blocks 3/4

Great brainstorming today!

We started off the class with silent reading. 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 read Chapter 14 in The Giver, and worked on questions for Chapters 11-14.

Reminders:
  • Questions for Chapters 11-14: due Thursday, May 7, 2015
  • Open-book grammar quiz on capitalization and apostrophes: Thursday, May 7, 2015
