Late night on the cross country course tonight, so I'm sorry this is so late. We'll make it a quick one.
You received The Giver today. You need to read chapter one and be sure to highlight and text code as you read. At the end of chapter one, I asked that you write one question that comes to you as you read. This will make up your ticket in tomorrow.
Personally I want you thinking about the family dynamics that you see in the first chapter. How is Jonas's family like your own family? How is it different? Also why do you think Lowry (the author) spent so much time in the first chapter having Jonas try and discover the correct word for how he was feeling? What does that tell you that they value in Jonas's community?
We took notes on good introductions today. Part of our time together will be spent writing an introduction tomorrow. Remember: Hook---Transition---Claim. You'll all have a strong intro before leaving class. Then...on to the body paragraphs.
Since those two things alone are pretty time-consuming, we might skip Tool Time tomorrow or at least have a really quick one.
See you soon.
