4/6 Wednesday's Notes and Homework

Hi Everyone!
   
Hope you've all been enjoying working on your pixton comics. I've started to see some finished products, and they are great!

IF you have not finished, you can work on your comic from any computer (home included... and if your home computer doesn't work, go to a friends and work on it, or head to your local library).

To access your work, you must go to pixton.com/schools and log in using the log in name and password you created. Make sure that when you log in, it's at "pixton for schools," and not "pixton for fun."

For your project, you must have your 6-8 sentence paragraph on the cartoon, as well as a direct quote from the book. If you do not have a copy of the book in your possession, you can either google search quotes from The Giver, or you can head to your local library to grab a book.

Remember the message from Friday's assembly... NO EXCUSES! You can complete this project and make it great!

On Friday, April 8th you have your Giver test!
On the test we will cover:
1. Character identification
2. Symbolism
3. Foreshadowing
4. Descriptive language
5. Antagonist/protagonist
6. Plot points
7. Vocab and spelling (you will be tested on a few of the 34 words)

FRIDAY APRIL 8TH
* GIVER TEST
* GIVER PACKET DUE
* PIXTON COMIC DUE
* LAST DAY OF THE QUARTER SO NOTHING CAN BE HANDED IN LATE

Hope you all enjoy your day off!

4/1 Friday's Homework

Hello My Darlings!

Today, after the quiz, you received your The Giver Project Packet. It would be wise to start it, because as you know, it's due Friday, April 8th and it's going to count as a quiz grade.

If you are concerned about your quiz average (or just want to help boost your average) you can complete an extra credit assignment.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT

Since the book The Giver has a very open ending, I want you to create a chapter 24 of the book (Remember there are only 23 chapters in the novel). For extra credit, write a 24th chapter to The Giver, and tell the reader what happened to Jonas and Gabe. Did they survive? Was it all a dream? Did they make it to Elsewhere? What happened to the community and the Giver? You decide!

I want it to be 2 pages, typed, Times New Roman, font size 12 in order for you to receive full credit. Be creative with this one! It's an easy, fun 5 extra points for your quiz average! It will be due Monday, April 4th.

Upcoming Assignment dates:
Monday, April 4: Extra credit assignment due
Friday, April 8: The Giver  Project Packet due.
Friday, April 8: Unit test on The Giver
Friday, April 8 (Busy day!): Last day of the 3rd quarter.

*** IF YOU THINK YOU ARE MISSING ANY ASSIGNMENTS, OR IF I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO YOU ABOUT MISSING ASSIGNMENTS, PLEASE SEE ME AND GET THAT WORK IN!

Have a great weekend!
