The Giver Spring Break Assignment

Spring Break Assignment!!!

Congrats on making it to spring break! You have officially completed 33 weeks of school (I think)…when you get back, you will have ONLY 7 weeks left. Because I am the MEANEST teacher ever, I am giving you an assignment over spring break. (This will also be on my website if you lose this…cough Charlie cough…) Over break, you need to read Ch. 2 AND 3 in The Giver (pages 11-25). But that is not all. You also need to look up the following words and write down a definition IN YOUR OWN WORDS! Do this on a separate sheet of paper.

Palpable (pg 3)     

Distraught (4) 

Disposition (7

Transgression (9)   

Fret (14)              

Chastisement (20)

Petulantly (22)    

Droning (22)         

Tunic (24)

When you get back, you will have a quiz on these words so I HIGHLY SUGGEST memorizing the definitions and a sentence. This is not hard work everyone, so I fully expect everyone to have this completed. We have made GREAT improvements lately so keep it up over break!

                        Enjoy!!!                                    -Rivera
