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
