Thursday, October 13

Objective: SWBAT evaluate an author’s use of imagery and explain how sensory images are used to enhance a text.

Do-Now: Describe the weather outside today using all five senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound.

Today: 1) Teacher will introduce imagery and sensory images to the class using the responses to their journal entries as an example.

2) Class will begin to read Chapter #11 of “The Giver,” focusing on how the author uses sensory images to describe Jonas’ experience on his first sled ride.

3) In groups, students will finish reading Chapter #11, focusing on how imagery is used to describe the memories being transferred to Jonas by the Giver.

Exit Slip: What might it feel like to live in a world like Jonas’ where the temperature is the same every day and people are never too cold or too hot?  What would you not be able to experience in such a world?  What would be lost?

Homework: Chapter #11 Questions
