We started off class today with a free-writing a exercise; I gave the students 15 minutes to write as much as they could about their holidays. We then went over the Chapter 1-11 quiz for The Giver and discussed some chapter questions. Students were then given time to work on their Annex Room Sketch. We finished off class by reading Chapters 19 and 20 from The Giver (and we sadly learnt what the term 'release' really means).
Reminders:
- Annex Room Sketch: Due tomorrow, Jan. 6, 2015
- The Giver Creative Project (maps/brochures): Due Friday, Jan. 9, 2015
