We're now deep into the fiction world of Lois Lowry's The Giver, discussing the themes of the novel and making connections to our own society. It's been great listening to all of the great ideas!
This week, we'll explore the concept of imagery in writing, with a focus on sensory details. Students will analyze the sensory details in a piece of description, and they'll create visual representations of the place described, using specific quotations to identify the details that they found most powerful and memorable. Here's a link to the piece we'll read: from Springboard's "Coming to Your Senses" Lesson. Students will also draw on earlier lessons about film techniques of framing and angles to create their visual representations.
We'll also use the piece to write found poems.
All classes will be continuing to read and discuss the novel, engaging in close reading, analysis, and Socratic Seminars. It's going to be another great quarter!
