Friday, February 24

Objective: SWBAT explain how Jonas is becoming more like the Giver by feeling more distant from his family and peers.

Do-Now: Why is it important for people to have choices in life?  What might it feel like to have everything chosen for you?  What problems occur when people are given choices? (How can choices be a BAD thing?)

Today: 1) Class will review the changes Jonas has gone through in Chapters #1-12.  How was he begun to feel more distant from his family/peers based on the new knowledge he has acquired?

2) Class will begin to read Chapter #13.  Why is Jonas angry that he is not allowed to have choices?  Why is Jonas scared of people making the wrong choices?  What does this fear say about the influence Jonas’ society has had on him?

4) Begin completing review questions for Chapter #13.

Exit Slip: How is Jonas becoming more like “The Giver” as he receives more and more knowledge from him.

Homework: Finish reading Chapter #13 and complete review questions.
