Week of December 1-5, 2014

We will start reading a new novel, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. 
Short summary: Where Jonas lives, life is safe, orderly, and predictable.  Rules are strictly adhered to; every aspect of a person's life is carefully planned.  People rarely make choices on their own; everything is decided for them by the community.  There is no snow or sunshine, no colors or music, no animals or nature.

Reminders:
Monday--Discuss "utopian" and "dystopian" worlds.
Tuesday--Read chapter 1 in class--Homework read chapter 2
Wednesday--Homework read chapter 3
Thursday--Homework read chapter 4
Friday--Quiz on chapters 1-4. Homework read chapters 5-7
