Believe it or not: it's the last week of the first quarter! Time goes so quickly!
This week, students will continue to read Lois Lowry's The Giver, examining Lowry's fictional dystopia. We'll compare and contrast the rules and customs of Lowry's fictional society with the rules and customs of our own society. After some brainstorming and discussion, students will write a two paragraph Compare/Contrast piece, comparing and contrasting the two societies and weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each system. There's a link to the assignment overview and guidelines available HERE.
Note: This is a short week for students, as they have Friday off.
