The Word file is viewable with any PC or Mac and can be further adjusted if you want to mix questions around and/or add your own headers for things like "Name," "Period," and "Date." The Word file offers unlimited customizing options so that you can teach in the most efficient manner possible. Once you download the file, it is yours to keep and print for your classroom.Lesson Plan CalendarsThe Lesson Plan Calendars provide daily suggestions about what to teach. They include detailed descriptions of when to assign reading, homework, in-class work, fun activities, quizzes, tests and more. Use the entire The Giver calendar, or supplement it with your own curriculum ideas. Calendars cover one, two, four, and eight week units. Determine how long your The Giver unit will be, then use one of the calendars provided to plan out your entire lesson.Chapter AbstractsChapter abstracts are short descriptions of events that occur in each chapter of The Giver. They highlight major plot events and detail the important relationships and characteristics of important characters. The Chapter Abstracts can be used to review what the students have read, or to prepare the students for what they will read. Hand the abstracts out in class as a study guide, or use them as a "key" for a class discussion. They are relatively brief, but can serve to be an excellent refresher of The Giver for either a student or teacher.Character and Object DescriptionsCharacter and Object Descriptions provide descriptions of the significant characters as well as objects and places in The Giver. These can be printed out and used as an individual study guide for students, a "key" for leading a class discussion, a summary review prior to exams, or a refresher for an educator. The character and object descriptions are also used in some of the quizzes and tests in this lesson plan. The longest descriptions run about 200 words. They become shorter as the importance of the character or object declines.Multiple Choice QuestionsThe 180 Multiple Choice Questions in this lesson plan will test a student's recall and understanding of The Giver. Use these questions for quizzes, homework assignments or tests. The questions are broken out into sections, so they focus on specific chapters within The Giver. This allows you to test and review the book as you proceed through the unit. Typically, there are 5-15 questions per chapter, act or section.Short Essay QuestionsThe 60 Short Essay Questions listed in this section require a one to two sentence answer. They ask students to demonstrate a deeper understanding of The Giver by describing what they've read, rather than just recalling it. The short essay questions evaluate not only whether students have read the material, but also how well they understand and can apply it. They require more thought than multiple choice questions, but are shorter than the essay questions.Essay Questions/Writing AssignmentsThese 20 Essay Questions/Writing Assignments can be used as essay questions on a test, or as stand-alone essay topics for a take-home or in-class writing assignment on The Giver. Students should have a full understanding of the unit material in order to answer these questions. They often include multiple parts of the work and ask for a thorough analysis of the overall text. They nearly always require a substantial response. Essay responses are typically expected to be one (or more) page(s) and consist of multiple paragraphs, although it is possible to write answers more briefly. These essays are designed to challenge a student's understanding of the broad points in a work, interactions among the characters, and main points and themes of the text. But, they also cover many of the other issues specific to the work and to the world today.Daily LessonsThis section of the lesson plan contains 30 Daily Lessons. Daily Lessons each have a specific objective and offer at least three (often more) ways to teach that objective. Lessons include classroom discussions, group and partner activities, in-class handouts, individual writing assignments, at least one homework assignment, class participation exercises and other ways to teach students about The Giver in a classroom setting. You can combine daily lessons or use the ideas within them to create your own unique curriculum. They vary greatly from day to day and offer an array of creative ideas that provide many options for an educator.Fun Classroom ActivitiesFun Classroom Activities differ from Daily Lessons because they make "fun" a priority. The 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help students understand The Giver in fun and entertaining ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and countless other creative exercises. Many of the activities encourage students to interact with each other, be creative and think "outside of the box," and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by "doing" rather than simply studying. Fun activities are a great way to keep students interested and engaged while still providing a deeper understanding of The Giver and its themes.Evaluation FormsUse the Oral Reading Evaluation Form when students are reading aloud in class. Pass the forms out before you assign reading, so students will know what to expect. You can use the forms to provide general feedback on audibility, pronunciation, articulation, expression and rate of speech. You can use this form to grade students, or simply comment on their progress.Use the Writing Evaluation Form when you're grading student essays. This will help you establish uniform criteria for grading essays even though students may be writing about different aspects of the material. By following this form you will be able to evaluate the thesis, organization, supporting arguments, paragraph transitions, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. of each student's essay.Quizzes/Homework AssignmentsThe Quizzes/Homework Assignments are worksheets that can be used in a variety of ways. They pull questions from the multiple choice and short essay sections, the character and object descriptions, and the chapter abstracts to create worksheets that can be used for pop quizzes, in-class assignments and homework. Periodic homework assignments and quizzes are a great way to encourage students to stay on top of their assigned reading. They can also help you determine which concepts and ideas your class grasps and which they need more guidance on. By pulling from the different sections of the lesson plan, quizzes and homework assignments offer a comprehensive review of The Giver in manageable increments that are less substantial than a full blown test.TestsUse the Test Summary page to determine which pre-made test is most relevant to your students' learning styles. This lesson plan provides both full unit tests and mid-unit tests. You can choose from several tests that include differing combinations of multiple choice questions, short answer questions, short essay questions, full essay questions, character and object matching, etc. Some of the tests are designed to be more difficult than others. Some have essay questions, while others are limited to short-response questions, like multiple choice, matching and short answer questions. If you don't find the combination of questions that best suits your class, you can also create your own test on The Giver.Lesson CalendarDefinitionsReview Chapter Abstracts: Chapter abstracts are synopses of each chapter that you can use to review the reading assignments with your students.Daily Lessons: There are 30 daily lessons detailed in this lesson plan.

He has a habit of mixing up his words; a habit that caused him to stop talking altogether for a time.Benjamin - This character has done voluntary service after school in the Rehabilitation Center, where he has devised important new equipment.Bruno - This character is the brother of the character who becomes a Caretaker of the Old at her twelfth Ceremony.Caleb - This character is a replacement child, presented to a couple in place of their previous child who wandered off, fell into the river, and drowned.Chief Elder - This character is the leader of the community and is responsible for addressing the annual ceremonies.Edna - This character is an old person who has been recently "released." She had been a Birthmother, and then worked for years in Food Production, without forming a family unit.Father - This character works as a Nurturer, looking after very young children before their naming and allocation to family units. His concern for one baby boy who is not progressing well, is touching, but when the truth about "release" is revealed to readers, this character seems much more businesslike.Fiona - This character is does all their voluntary work in the House of the Old and is officially made a Caretaker of the Old at this character's twelfth Ceremony.Fritz - This character is the main character's next door neighbor who receives a new bicycle at the ceremony of Nine and immediately bumps into the podium with it.Gabe - See GabrielGabriel - This character is in danger of being declared "inadequate" because he has not put on weight. He is pale-eyed, and eventually is "released" but not before the main character races away from the community on his Father's bike with this character in the child-seat on the back.Giver - It pains this fair-eyed character that he must transmit "the memories of the whole world."

Is it important to divide rules by their importance?4) Class Discussion: If rules are given a hierarchy of importance, how is this reflected in our current society? If rules were not given a hierarchy, how might our society look? What would be some positives and negatives to this kind of society.5) Homework: Interview one family member regarding their thoughts on the hierarchy of rules.

For example, if a student is training for an event in Track and Field, perhaps they will set a goal of shaving 30 seconds off their mile.Lesson 5Objective: In the book "The Giver", Gabriel and Lily both have comfort objects. Gabriel has a stuffed hippo and Lily a stuffed elephant. Animals are imaginary in the community. The objective of this lesson is to explore the idea of comfort and the power of the imagination.1) Ask students to write down one imaginary object they had/created during their childhood. List three characteristics about the object that they remember.2) Have students write down two ways in which the imaginary object gave them comfort. These ways may include staving off loneliness, providing the comfort of a memory, or simply providing entertainment.3) Ask the students to get into groups of three or four and assign a true-to-life comfort object to the group. The comfort object could be a safety pin or a pencil - essentially something they could carry around with them. It could even be mini-stuffed animals. Students will carry this comfort object around with them for the entire day.4) Homework: At the end of the day, have the students write the different ways the object gave them comfort and how the object sparked their imagination. Did they name the object? Did they assign meaning to the object? Did they become attached to the object? When groups gather to discuss, pay attention to which ways the groups experience were the same and different, whether some where more conforming or less.Lesson 6Objective: The new child, Gabriel, has pale eyes, which are a rarity in the community. Rare features are intriguing to homogeneous communities. This objective of this lesson is to learn/experience the feelings associated with being unique.1) Have students choose a partner.2) Each pair of students will pick a time in history where a rare leader stepped into the spotlight. This could be a figure such as Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Ghandi, etc.3) Have each student look up the characteristics that made that leader unique. How was the leader rare? Was it their vision, their looks, their background, their education, or the way that they were raised? In what ways did the leader stand out from the crowd?4) Class Discussion: What are the unique characteristics of a leader. In what ways are the leaders that were chosen as a class different, and in what ways were they similar?4) Homework: Have students create a collage of the characteristics of themselves that, like the leader they read about and Gabriel and Jonas's pales eyes, makes them unique.Lesson 7Objective: Each member of the community has a certain amount of volunteer hours that they must complete. The Elders watch the children and assign their future career according to their interests and strengths. The object of this lesson is to understand the purpose of volunteer work. In what ways does volunteer work shape the people who participate in it?1) Provide a list of organization that students would consider volunteering for.2) Students will pick one organization and research five facts about the organization and what is involved in volunteering.3) Students will then write an advertisement regarding the organization. This advertisement should be inspiring and should promote the reasons why a person would want to volunteer their time to the cause.4) Students will give their advertisement to a classmate. The classmate will reflect on the advertisement and list whether or not they would like to volunteer. From this assessment, students should come up with a handful (five or so) reasons for what motives them to volunteer and whether or not volunteer work truly is an indication of interest for future careers.5) Homework: Have students call the organization and speak with a volunteer. The students will ask the volunteer what is their favorite part of dedicating their time to the organization. Students will share their findings with the class.Lesson 8Objective: During Jonas's time in the House of the Old Larissa tells him about a man who has been released. The man's name is Roberto. Jonas is curious about what happens to the man after he has been released. The objective of the lesson is to engage in story prediction using the students imagination.1) Have students clip out one picture from a magazine that visualizes/relates to the idea of being "released" according to the book The Giver.2) Have students write a narrative (three paragraphs) on what happens to Roberto after he has been released. They can use their creative skills to participate in this lesson. Does Roberto go to another community? Does Roberto reunite with his family? Create the story that Lois Lowry does not tell - yet.3) Have students match their picture with their story and explain the significance of the picture.4) Class Discussion: Students will share their predictions with the class.4) Homework: Students will turn their paper over and draw their own illustration of their prediction of the story.Lesson 9Objective: Jonas and his family share their dreams and feelings in the morning during the dream ritual. As a result of Jonas sharing his dream, which involves the feeling of "Stirring," his mother gives him a pill. The objective of this lesson is to discuss the sharing and interpretation of dreams.1) Have students recall their favorite dream or dream sequence.2) Have students recall how they felt when they told another of their dream. Was the dream accepted? Was the dream judged? If so, how did the telling of the dream make the student feel?3) Students will write a one page reflection on their dream and the reaction of others to their dream. Did it dissuade them from telling another dream?4) Class Discussion: What is the importance of sharing dreams? In Jonas's case, his mother took charge and took control because of what Jonas revealed to her. Are dreams better left unshared, or could the community help with the dream? After all, Jonas took a pill and was cured of his Stirrings.5) Homework: Have students edit their writing.Lesson 10Objective: The purpose of the pill that Mother gives Jonas is to stop the pressure of performance, and instead focus upon an already set-up culture. In what was does numbing certain reactions, dreams, and feelings, upset the community and in what ways does it enhance it? The objective of the lesson is to understand the importance of changes and shifts, of growth and of experiencing becoming an adult.1) Have students define what being an adult means to them. Have them list five ways in which someone is considered an adult in today's society.2) Ask the students if they would like to be told what they were going to experience and when - or if they would rather be surprised by life's turns and twists.3) Have students write a compare/contrast essay. Imagine what would happen if they were told what to do and feel each morning. In what ways would it be soothing and in what ways would it deplete their creativity? The essay should be 1 page in length.4) Class Discussion: Is growth inevitable, even when it is trying to be controlled? Discuss the student's essays.5) Homework: Have students create a crossword puzzle of all the key words they used in their essay regarding adulthood.Lesson 11Objective: The Ceremonies that are performed in The Giver are essentially rites of passage. The objective of the lesson is to understand the idea of conformity and how doing everything at the same time as everyone can diminish creativity. The objective of the lesson to celebrate diversity.1) Have students think of one rite of passage they have experienced. Perhaps it is a graduation or a birthday.2) Have students create an invitation to the rite of passage that they experienced.3) Have students give their invitation to a classmate.4) Class Discussion: Take a count on how many birthdays, religious events, graduations, etc, were made into invitations. Write them on the board. Review how many different rites of passage were experienced in the class. Are we all equal or is there diversity?5) Make a bulletin board of rites of passage invitations. Have students put their invitation on it. This is to provide a celebration of the which ways each student is different.4) Homework: Have students reflect (one paragraph) on what it would be like if everyone went through the same rite of passage. How would our city look, our country?Lesson 12Objective: The Elders of the community match personalities and attributes of the children to the job they will do in the future. Essentially, their futures are being decided for them. The purpose of this lesson is to appreciate the freedom of choice.1) Place different jobs into a hat. Have students choose one job each.2) Have students create a job description based on the job selected. Include the qualifications of the job and the daily activities and highlights involved in the job.3) Have students go to the rite of passage board and select a person that would be a perfect fit for the job.4) The students will then be assigned the job based on their invitations to the rite of passage. The students will read over their job and think whether or not they would want this job for the rest of their life. Would they take the job? Or, would they reject the choice made for them.5) Homework: If students rejected the job gave to them, have them research a job they would want. If students agreed with the assigned job, have them write a biography of themselves as their career unfolds. When they return to, students should have an understanding of the freedom to choose.Lesson 13Objective: The Committee of Elders make all the decisions for the members of the community, from job to spouse to children. The objective of this lesson is to understand the power of societal power and decision.1) Have student choose an ancient culture where choices are made for its members. (i.e., cultures where arranged marriages were prevalent, or rituals were performed - Ancient China, the caste system in India, etc.)2) Have students create a brochure for this ancient culture. Have them illustrate how the culture mandates a certain way of living. This could incorporate the food they eat to the clothes the wear. Have them illustrate who/what organization is in charge.3) Class Discussion: After students create the brochure, have them discuss how America is different. Point out two things in the brochure that would not happen in America in the 21st century because of the freedom of choice.4) Homework: Have student recreate one panel of their brochure to reflect America's culture today.Lesson 14Objective: The Chief Elder describes the various personalities of the group during the Ceremony of Twelves.

The entertainer could be an actor, writer, comic, clown or cartoon character.2) Students will draw a picture of the entertainer doing something entertaining or something they enjoy seeing.3) Have students turn their drawing over and write three personality traits of the entertainer that they chose and how the personality traits are reflected in their talents.4) Have students do the same activity, but this time have them describe and draw themselves and their personalities. Share with the class.5) Homework: How is each student's personality unique and different from others? Why is this important?Lesson 15Objective: The Receiver of Memory is different from the community. The Receiver is intelligent, courageous, has integrity and wisdom. The objective of this lesson is understand the idea of separatism in The Giver and in the current state of the world.1) Have students choose a current event that is related to the idea of separatism. This could be an international event. Choose an event where there has been a separation from a set up community. An example would be gay marriage, war, or poverty.2) Have the students clip out two articles that relate the current event.3 Students will then become reporters. They will create a news broadcast of the event as if they are the ones reporting it to an audience. The newscast is one minute in length.4) Homework: Students will prepare to share an excerpt of their newly created "The Nightly News" broadcast held in class the next day.Lesson 16Objective: Jonas receives his instructions for his training in becoming the Receiver. Among the instructions is the permission to lie. Rudeness is not an issue. Jonas can get answers to any question. The list he receives is in direct contradiction to what he has learned so far. The object of the lesson is to understand the inner workings/beliefs of the main character, Jonas.1) Have students write down the rules of the classroom.2) Have students gather into groups of 3 or 4. Each group is assigned a "Receiver."3) Make a set rules for the group discussion that follows the activity. The Receiver of each group is assigned a separate set of rules to follow, thus being "set apart" from the group.4) Each member of the group will answer the writing prompt "What did you learn as a child that no longer applies to you in your present life?" (For example, you could have been taught to not go outside when your hair is wet because you might catch a cold.) Then, have students compare/contrast their experience with Jonas's experience and relate to how his character must feel in "unlearning" what he has learned. Keep in mind that the "Receiver" of each group can ask any question of the group - and can lie. He/she also does not need to complete the writing prompt, but observes others.5) Homework: Each member of the group and the Receiver writes three benefits of being unique and three detractors of being unique based on the experience they had in class.Lesson 17Objective: Jonas meets The Giver. The Giver has books that Jonas has never read before. He also has information that Jonas has never known about before. The Giver is the Receiver of memories and holds within him the weight of the world's memories. The objective of this lesson is to understand the weight of memories.1) Have students briefly research a significant historical event.2) Students will create a brief timeline of the event to see how the memory of that event spans throughout time.3) Class Discussion: Students will share their timeline and grasp the scope of the length of memory.4) Homework: Students with then write a reflection on the weight of memory of their event. They will then contrast this weight with what The Giver must feel holding the weight of many memories.Lesson 18Objective: The Giver gives Jonas the memory of snow and sunshine. The sensations captivate Jonas. He wants more. He wants to know about painful things. The Giver gives him the memory of sunburn and he understands the difference. The objective of the lesson is to experience a memory.1) Have students close their eyes and recall an event they participated in last summer that heightened their sensations. This could be a kayaking trip, or just swimming in the ocean or pool.2) Have students divide a piece of paper into three sections. Label them K-W-L.3) In the K section, students will write down what they know about the event. They will discuss the sensations they felt at the time. In the W section, students will write down what they experienced. This could be pleasure, pain, fun, joy, etc. In the L section, students will write what they learned from the experience. For instance, if they got sunburned while swimming in the ocean, they will write that they learned about the power of sunscreen. For the W section, students will write down what they wish to experience next.4) Class Discussion: How vivid are the feelings house inside of memories. Were you able to fully experience your memory when you envisioned it?5) Homework: Write a reflection on how the feelings of memory differ from the actual experience of an event. In what ways are memories softened, and in what ways are they sharpened?Lesson 19Objective: Jonas sees color for the first time. The Giver gives him the memory of a rainbow so that he can explore the concept of color with more depth. What is the significance of seeing in color? The objective of the lesson is to understand the interpretation and celebration of color.1) Pass out a color wheel to students and have them play with the colors.2) Pass out a single sheet of white paper.3) Have the students illustrate one of the plot events without color and one with color.4) Write a caption underneath the illustrations to show the difference in interpretation.5) Class Discussion: What is the significance of color in a community? If color is missing from the community in The Giver, then how does a colorless society describe their surroundings?6) Homework: Investigate color in your surroundings. How does it amplify life? If one was to live in a colorless society, what can be assumed? Is the society controlled?Lesson 20Objective: Jonas is becoming more isolated from the group. He is experiencing new events and is learning new ideas. He is finding that his family and friends are experiencing a more dull and muted life. The objective of this lesson is to understand how freedom is compromised when no major changes or choices take place in a persons life.1) Ask students to write an imaginary eulogy of their live in fifty years. What do they hope to experience? Who are they? What is their job like? What is their family like? Are they happy?2) Then, ask the students to write an imaginary eulogy of Lily as a Birthmother.3) Class Discussion: In what ways is living life with no change or upsets peaceful and in what ways does it compromise freedom? If given a choice, which would the student prefer, their own life, or one like Lily's.4) Homework: Have students interview their parents or a friend about how their life will be in 10 years. What choices do they hope to make? Are they excited about those choices or would they rather the choice be made for them. Students will then garner an understanding of America at large and if we are evolving into a culture that enjoys less freedom in exchange for a sense of security.Lesson 21Objective: Jonas's days now includes many painful memories. This is in direct contrast from the protection he received from the community when he was just a regular citizen. Now, as an apprentice of The Giver, he is receiving memories. The object of this lesson is to experience and appreciate the concept of contrast.1) Have students create a dinner menu. They must include and appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. Have students include as many ingredients as possible. They may also have a theme to their dinner (Italian, Brazilian, Thai, etc)2) Then, have students create a dinner menu using only one ingredient; a tomato, an eggplant, a cucumber, etc. They must also create an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert using only one ingredient.3) Students will then assign an emotion to each experience. Did they feel creative, excited, happy creating the menu with the multiple ingredients or with the single ingredient? Is having a single ingredient less complex and therefore less stressful?4) Class Discussion: Does simplicity create more peace? Does complexity add more flavor? In what ways is complexity stressful and in what ways is it life-enhancing? Does simplicity make more sense in maintaining emotional equilibrium?5) Homework: Students are encouraged to make a version of their dinner, the complex and the simple. Write a reflection of the real-life experience.Lesson 22Objective: Jonas experiences his first memory of war. He is surrounded by pain, death, and destruction. The Giver is apologetic about inflicting such pain onto Jonas. The objective of the lesson is to understand compassion.1) Students will write a letter to a solider at war. They will include in the letter their feelings regarding war, much as Jonas describes.2) Students will have an editing partner who will proofread their letter.3) Class Discussion: How is the misery of war spread through a community? In what ways does it color the culture? In what ways does it bring a culture together.4) Homework: Handwrite your own letter to yourself if you were at war. What would you say to ease your own pain?Lesson 23Objective: Jonas is reluctant to go back to the Annex after the memory of war. However, the Giver is gentle with Jonas and gives him memories of happy things including birthdays and Christmas. During the Christmas memory Jonas learns the emotion of love. Jonas asks his parents about love and they chastise him. Jonas lies to his parents and then defies them by not taking his pill. The objective of the lesson is to understand the difference between emotional expression and generations.1) Have students meet in groups of three or four. The groups will pick a decade of the 20th century to research.2) The students will explore the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, or another decade. Have the students delve into how the emotion of love is expressed through culture. They will discover the cultural definitions of love and how love is expressed, from fashion to theater to books.3) The groups will present their decade findings to the class.4) Class Discussion: How has America's understanding and interpretation of love expanded and contracted during the 20th century? How is each decade a direct reaction the one preceding it?5. Homework: Read Chapter 17 and develop three questions for class tomorrow.Lesson 24Objective: Today is an unscheduled holiday for the kids of the community. Jonas now sees colors and can now feel more vividly the emotions of love for family and friends. He witnesses children play the game of war. It is upsetting to him. He asks them to stop and they become irritated. The objective of this lesson is learning what being an advocate for social justice means.1) Have students get into groups of five or six.2) Each group must choose to be a non-profit organization of some sort (Red Cross, United Way).3) Each group will create a disaster that happens in a community. This might be a tornado or a hurricane, etc. Students may also use a real life event such as Hurricane Katrina or the Tsunami in Indonesia.4) Student groups then provide a list of things they will do to help the community recover from the devastation that they experience. How are these things connected to the greater community at large?5) Class Discussion: How are we all connected? How is the world affected by these events? In what ways are we here to help each other instead of drive each other apart.6.) Homework: Read Chapter 18 and develop three questions to ask tomorrow in class.Lesson 25Objective: Jonas asks about the old Receiver and why she failed. The Giver explains the reasons. The objective of this lesson is learning how to turn failures into successes.1) Have students write down one instance where they felt the failed. Have them describe what happened and why.2) Have students examine the incident and pinpoint three areas where they could have made better choices.3) Then, have students rewrite their story where they employ these three areas.4) Class Discussion: How could the Receiver have saved herself from failure? What are the different ways in which we block our own successes?5) Homework: Pick a successful person you admire in your life. List five characteristics that make them successful. What do they do in the face of challenge?Lesson 26Objective: Jonas watches his father inject the smaller of the identical twins with a syringe filled with liquid. He learns that his Father has killed the baby. Jonas now realizes that to be released is to die. Often children come to realize that their parents have not always been honest. The objective of this lesson is to grasp change in the human condition.1) Chose a life event that evokes great change (puberty, graduation, marriage, children, etc.).2) Have students choose a symbol that embodies the idea of change. This could be a butterfly or even a reptile who shed their skin.3) Have students get into groups of 3-4 and discuss the natural progression of change. What are the three main emotions associated with change?4) Have students discuss Jonas's interpretation of change as it was presented by watching his Father do something he never thought possible.5) Class Discussion: Change is inevitable, it is a movement from the old to the new. In what ways has Jonas now been changed permanently. In what ways has this realization inspired growth within his thinking? Is this experience negative or positive and why?6.) Homework: Read Chapter 20 and develop three questions to ask tomorrow in class.Lesson 27Objective: Jonas is having a difficult time coming to terms with his feelings. He is upset with his Father for what he did to the infant twin. He plans his escape to elsewhere with the Giver. The objective of this lesson is to understand the importance of working through a difficult time instead of running from it, and the opportunity to change a culture.1) Have students write and fictional essay on impulse and escape. Have them draft characters that run from their problems. (Two pages)2) Have students edit their work.3) Have a few student share their story with the class.4) The Giver feels he cannot escape, cannot run from his problems, but Jonas feels he can and should. To what extend does responsibility to the community play a role in this situation? Is it better to run or better to fix the problem? How have the students fictional characters reacted to emotions and feelings. Review the similarities between Jonas's reaction and the reaction of their made up characters.5) Homework: Reflection: Do you feel that Jonas should escape and why?Lesson 28Objective: Jonas leaves the community with stolen food, his father's bicycle, and Gabriel. Jonas has committed enough mistakes to be released. He seeks refuge in the forest. The objective of the lesson is to understand the cost of running from problems.1) Have students write the reason why Jonas runs away. Have they ever wanted to run away from home or from a problem? Why?2) Have students create a missing poster/sign that describes who Jonas and Gabriel are, describe their characters, and their motivations for running away. Include a reward for capture.3) Students may share their wanted ads and post them in the classroom.4) Classroom Discussion: What motivates people to run away? What good can come of running away and what bad can come?5) Homework: Prediction: Do you think that Jonas will return to the community? Will he return to his responsibilities? Do you think he should return to his community?Lesson 29Objective: Jonas and Gabriel travel towards a new life together, but Jonas falls and hurts himself and they both begin to starve. Jonas forgets himself and is determined to take care of Gabriel. He is also determined to live a life of color, adventure and emotion. This objective of this lesson is to debate the concept of Utopia.1) Have students generate questions regarding the positives and negatives about a Utopian society.2) Divide the class in two. Each group is assigned three panelists that will represent the whole.3) One set of panelists will be for a Utopia and the other will be against a Utopia.4) Select a moderator who will ask the student-developed questions.5) The moderator will ask questions debating Utopia and the panelists will consult their group and then answer accordingly. Debate the issues for a time6) Homework: What did you learn from the opposing team? What is one new idea that you learned that you would not have thought of otherwise.Lesson 30Objective: Jonas and Gabriel encounter snow on the last phase of their journey toward a new life. Jonas abandons his fathers bike and finds a sled to ride. He thinks he hears music on his way down the hill. The objective of this lesson is to utilize the critical thinking skill of prediction.1) Ask students to take out a single sheet of paper and reflect on the uncertainty of the ending of the novel, "The Giver." It is unclear whether Jonas is experiencing life or leaving it.2) Students will write a summary of the ending, placing meaning to the sled and the ride down the hill. What happens to Jonas and Gabriel?3) Homework: Write a one-page reflection on whether Lois Lowry's ending to The Giver is warranted. Or, should she have given a more definite ending, such as what exactly happened to Jonas and Gabriel. Discuss whether or not all plot points should be discusses and if leaving room for prediction or interpretation is necessary in reading literature?Fun ActivitiesThe 20 enjoyable, interactive classroom activities that are included will help your students understand the text in amusing ways. Fun Classroom Activities include group projects, games, critical thinking activities, brainstorming sessions, writing poems, drawing or sketching, and more that will allow your students to interact with each other, be creative, and ultimately grasp key concepts from the text by "doing" rather than simply studying.1. Create the Front Cover of a NewspaperCreate the front cover of an imaginary newspaper that would be distributed to the community in the novel, The Giver. Include the characters, plot, theme, and setting in the stories that you write. Include photos and advertisements, just like a real newspaper. For example, one article can be about the Ceremony of Twelves, another article could be about Jonas's experience in the House of the Old, or an interview with Father regarding the care taking of Gabriel. Create a title for your newspaper and use the proper format.2. Write a Script for a Talk ShowWrite a script for a talk show where you interview members of the community. Ask them questions about how decisions are made and how they live their lives. Are they happy? Then, interview Jonas and ask the same questions.3. Write a ScreenplayTurn Lois Lowry's The Giver into a movie. Use dialogue to define characters, setting, theme and plot. Assign actors to bring life to the characters and play out a scene.4. Create a DioramaCreate a visual representation of the community described in The Giver. Create a diorama, or a shadowbox, that depicts either one scene or one event from the book. Make sure to include all of the key characters.5. Create a Life Skills BookCreate a life skills book that describes how to life is lived in the community of The Giver. Next, write a life skills book for American life in the 21st century. Recognize the distinct differences.6. GPSDraw a detailed map of the community. Pretend it can explored through a GPS devise. Draw some parts at close range.7. Making MemoriesMake a scrapbook of all the memories that The Giver gives to Jonas; snow, sunshine, war, Christmas, etc. Make sure you name the emotion that partners with each and every memory.8. Similarities and Differences EditorialTake a walk around your own community. Note the similarities and difference between your community and the community in the novel The Giver. Write an editorial regarding your findings.9. Imagination and Story TellingWrite a story about being exempt from society's rules. For one day, you can walk into grocery stores and not pay for any food, shop for clothes for free, watch movies in theaters for free, and go to museums. Describe that day in detail. What would you do? Who would you visit? Afterwards, go back and get a glimpse of your priorities.10. Be an HistorianResearch a significant past event that occurred within the 18th, 19th, or 20th century (i.e., The Civil War, The French Revolution, the Holocaust). The event created memories within the country and within the people. Chose a memory and create a timeline of how that event has created "memories" from the time of the event until present day. This could start with the actual event and result in the dedication of a museum or the releasing of a documentary.11. Creating a MemoryVisit a garden, the ocean, or go outdoors in your own community. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells. Write down the sensations you feel when you are in the outdoors. Observe your surroundings and make a memory. Write a description of your experience so when another person reads it, they feel like they were in the garden, ocean, or outdoors with you.12. Discovering ColorIntroduce students to a color wheel. Have students draw two illustrations of one of the plot points of The Giver. Have them do one illustration without color and one with color to show the difference color makes.13. The Call of FreedomHave each student write their eulogy that will take place 50 years from now. What profession are they in? Are they married? Do they have a family? Have the student elaborate on the life choices that they have made. Most importantly, have students reflect on whether or not they feel they had the right to choose.14. Restaurant CriticCreate a dinner menu. Include sweet and savory dishes on the menu. Include an appetizer, main course and dessert. Describe the flavors and how they compliment each other. Notice how the contrast of flavors and the mix of ingredients creates different experiences. Next, create a menu that uses only one ingredient for an appetizer, main course and dessert. Compare and contrast the difference like a restaurant critic.15. Write a Love LetterWrite a love letter to a solider at war. Include your interpretation of what the soldier might be feeling. Write what you might Jonas might want Jonas to read as he experiences the memory of war for the first time.16. Love CollagePull out an assortment of magazines. Create a collage of American media's interpretation and advertisement of love. Then, create your own collage of what love means to you. Notice the differences. Some will be subtle, some will not.17. Write a Movie ReviewJonas is upset when he sees children playing the game of war. American society views violent movies that depict war and violence on a regular basis. Choose a recent war movie that has been released and write a review on it. Notice how you feel as you watch the movie. Write about this feeling in your review.18. Learning from Your MistakesThe old Receiver failed. Think of one instance in your life where you have not been your best. One one sheet of paper, re-write your story so that you succeed.19. Make a Utopian MagazineUsing software such as Microsoft Publisher, create a magazine of your perfect Utopian society. Include the details of everything you'd like to see in your new world. Then, give your magazine to a friend and let them comment on it. Understand that their comments might help you to understand how contrast helps to create your own desires and that contrast allows for more freedom of expression.20. Rewrite the EndingLois Lowry ends The Giver one way. Use your creativity to re-write the ending in a way that is most suitable to you. Cite some pieces of the text as you play with the words, events and themes.Oral Reading Evaluation SheetName: _________________________Period: _______________________5 = Above Average???????? 3 = Average???????? 1 = Below AverageAudibility - Projecting your voice so your audience can hear and understand you.54321Pronunciation - Ability to recognize words before you say them and pronounce all the sounds correctly.54321Articulation - Using your tongue, mouth and lips to pronounce all the sounds correctly.54321Vocal Variety/Expression - Using appropriate pitch, volume and flow.54321Rate - Reading a speed, or pace that is easy to follow.54321Comments:Reading Assignment SheetName: _________________________Period: _______________________Reading AssignmentDate AssignedDate DueDate CompletedTo Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________To Page:?___________________________________Writing Evaluation FormName: _________________________Period: _______________________5 = Above Average???????? 3 = Average???????? 1 = Below AverageClear thesis or position5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Relevant supporting arguments5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Transitions between paragraphs5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Clarity of expression5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Strong conclusion5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Grammar5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Spelling5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Punctuation5?????? 4?????? 3?????? 2?????? 1Comments:One Week Quiz AName: _________________________Period: ___________________This quiz consists of 5 multiple choice and 5 short answer questions through Chapter 18.Multiple Choice Questions1.
