Purchase Resources Separately
The Giver Chapter Questions
The comprehension and literary analysis resources for The Giver will give students repeated opportunities to practice essential literacy skills aligned to the Common Core State Standards. For every chapter grouping (13), students will have to answer rigorous, text-based questions that assess not only their ability to comprehend but also their ability to analyze key events. There are two sets of questions for each reading: Chapter Questions A (comprehension) and Chapter Questions B (analysis). The twin sets offer different levels of challenge for students to give you options for meeting the needs of all your learners. All 26 assignments include questions that require close reading of the text, which means your students will always be practicing essential skills. With numerous options for implementation, the resource also allows for differentiation and can enable accommodation that will meet the needs of all learners.
The discussion questions provide open-ended prompts to deeply explore the themes and conflicts prominent in The Giver. The resources include one prompt for every reading (13) and 10 questions for whole novel analysis. The 13 reading discussion questions are provided in two different formats – graphic organizers and task cards – that will allow flexible implementation. The whole novel discussion questions are provided as task cards. Use the questions for independent work, small group or whole class discussion, reflection, homework, or more.
The Giver Close Readings
The 26 close reading lessons (2 for each reading ) explicitly focus on critical Common Core State Standards to develop students’ literacy proficiency. Using The Giver as the foundational text for close reading, each lesson focuses on a particular skill, such as setting, conflict, tone, and plot, and provides students an opportunity to develop and demonstrate their ability to perform that skill. Each assignment also requires students to use textual evidence to support their claims. The resources could supply homework, facilitate guided reading groups, or stimulate whole class literacy discussions for each chapter grouping. You can choose the purpose that best suits your students and your classroom.
The Giver Assessments
The standards-aligned assessments will help you measure your students’ comprehension of The Giver and their ability to apply the literary skills taught throughout the unit. The materials include 23 reading checks, 2 novel quizzes, 1 final differentiated test, and an essay choice board.
The Giver Informational Texts & Activities
The 6 informational texts, 7 extension activities, and 1 final cross-curricular project will build your students’ knowledge about memory, the brain, and the processes involved in memory formation. Students will learn about the brain’s structures, brain plasticity, and the different types of memories that shape our everyday lives. When synthesized with a reading of The Giver, the information will prompt critical thinking and analysis about the significance of memory in day-to-day life. By the end of this unit of study, students will have developed their ability to think critically, make connections between texts, and expanded their understanding of the science of memories.
PLEASE NOTE: This The Giver resource includes many identical readings and activities in the Restart Novel Study resource. Please DO NOT purchase both. If you are interested in both novel studies, reach out for special discount pricing at lauren@lit-lessons.com. Thank you!
