The Giver - questions

Test assignment

Talk about it

What have you just read about in the book that you need to talk about?

What is a release after all?

Where does Jonas' father stick the needle into the newborn twin?

1. arm
2. leg
3. cheek
4. forehead

Think about it!

Now that we know what release means in the community. Does it make sense to release a child who is a twin, a child who is unfit, people who break the rules or the elderly? 

What could you do (or how) would you change our community - be specific!

Can we ever change the world?

Assess if Jonas is dreaming, dying, or really escaping the community. Think about whether a sled would be waiting if the scene is real. What do you think?

Can we ever change the world?

What is the role of the Receiver? Could the community survive in the same way without one? Link this to the aim of the community

The assignment - recap

A story based on the Giver

Story structure is correct (the triangle - Freytag)

Grammar/spelling/punctuation

Effective words - describe don't tell!!!

Use new vocabulary words

Think about how people are described'threes/eights' etc

Think about how they talk about things "inconveniencing my learning community", 

'imprecise language', 'the morning ritual' etc

Choice of stories to write - choose only one!!!

You got this!

There's a movie too! (But not with all the interesting details)

Make sure you understood the book, what the community is like, what the function of The Reciever is, what a release is and how to argue and disucss these topics.

If you took this lesson pack seriously, you are ready for the test!
