Packet for The Giver

The packet for The Giver has three sections

Personal Reflection and Response
This needs to one per chapter, one from each.

Observations -
I noticed that each family unit had two children, one male and one female child. 

Wondering -
I wondered why the people in the community had not seen a fighter airplane before.

PLEASE NOTE:  The wondering can not be related to the Observations.  So you can't say I wonder why they only have two children.

The next section of the packet is Somebody Wanted But So.  One per chapter.

So for the first chapter
Lily wanted to have the male child that was not doing well become part of their family but Dad reminded her of the rules so Lily realized that the rules were important.

The last section is comparison and contrast.
one each for each chapter.
Chapter 1
Contrast - Our families are different sizes. 

Compare - Both worlds have airplanes.

This is an important part of the reading grade.

novels

One class is reading The Giver

The other class is reading  Watership Down

I can not stress enought that your student needs to complete the packet that goes with the novels.

Thanks
