Last week we finished reading The Giver. Everyone was chomping at the bit to finish! We then broke up into groups and read different short stories by Kurt Vonnegut that depict utopian societies similar to Jonas's in The Giver.
This week we will be writing a short essay comparing and contrasting the two different societies shown in the texts and the ways in which they create a utopia. We will also have a short, open-binder, multiple choice test on Tuesday. We luckily ended up with enough time left to view the film adaptation of the novel as well. We will watch that at the end of the week before we begin our plastics unit with the rest of the Liberty team.
