Weekly Update
We are continuing our Trek on reading through The Giver. This week I will be introducing a Utopian Government project. Students will make up laws and design what a utopia might look like. They will then have to persuade others to try and join their government. What will they do to persuade other students that their utopian is better than any other?
We will finish writing our integrity essay. Students will be required to turn it in by Friday, 2/1. They do not have to turn this into the contest.
Students will also have an Article of the Week, due next Monday 2/4. This article is a Kids News article about the Government Shutdown. I feel this topic is a great addition to our The Giver discussions. Please feel free to add to the discussions with your students.
Lastly, we will continue our work on vocabulary. All of their words are on Quizlet...here.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.
