The Giver and Jonas. Jonas and The Giver. How well do you know them? How much strong information can you and your group members find and share that will support your opinion? That's what we will start finding out tomorrow.
You and your group should already have a pretty sturdy list of descriptive words and phrases for your topic (Jonas or The Giver). Your job now is to find evidence that will support your claims. Don't just find any old quote; find the right one! Dig a little deeper and find the quote that will really bring Jonas or The Giver to life. Find the quote that will allow you to share some unique insight into the character.
After finding all the support you need to make some decisions. What information will you keep? What information will you drop? What order will the information be presented in? Who will present which information? How will the information be presented?
After that's decided, practice! Then practice some more. And again!
When you are practicing--and again when actually presenting--be sure to bring some energy and life to the dialogue. Don't go through the motions. Don't just say words. Add life and enthusiasm to everything you do, especially this. No excuses for a lack of energy.
We'll pick it up tomorrow. Hope to see you and your parents tonight.
See you soon, regardless.
