The Giver Class Novel Set

Help me give my students the dystopian novel "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jimenez's classroom raised $270

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I will use the class set of novels with two classes of 6th graders. We will use it to practice our literature analysis skills, reading comprehension, and response to literature expository writing.

We will practice vocabulary, analyze characters, plot, and setting to support our inferences.

We will look at theme and practice using textual evidence to support our expository writing.

I have used this novel in the past, and students love the plot twists and the different characters. The main character is the same age as my students and they love that!
