Standard 10-17-2013

Today you wrote about the ending to The Giver and tried to explain what happened to Jonas.  Did he die?  Did he live?  Was he found half frozen in the snow?  What about Gabriel?  And what were those lights?  That music?  How did the sled get there?  Lots to write about as you analyzed the ending and tried to decipher what Lowry was trying to convey.  What was here meaning?  If he lived, what was she trying to say?  If he died, what was she trying to say?  Lots to think about too.  We'll be talking and discussing your thoughts on those topics and more tomorrow.

We are finished with the Student Led Conference material for now.  You should be ready to go for Monday or Wednesday.

We'll start with some Tool Time tomorrow. I'll pass back the quizzes and we'll review those. Then we will move into our Giver discussion.  Once that's complete I have a word for you: paper!  Can't wait to share it with you.

See you soon.
