Discussion Questions for "The Giver" Chapters 1-2

Hi!

I hope you have enjoyed the first two chapters of our class book, "The Giver." I certainly enjoyed the first 20 pages.

Here are some topics/questions to start thinking about before tomorrow's discussion:

1. Describe the community that Jonas lives in.

2. How would you describe the people in the story?

3. What upcoming event is Jonas excited about? What happens during this event? Why is it important in the community?

4. What types of rules does the community have? Can some rules be broken? What is the punishment when someone breaks the rules in a serious way?

IF you are interested in testing your knowledge, you can take this practice quiz on chapters 1-2: Practice Quiz

Go ahead and bring your own questions about the story if you have them.

I look forward to talking to you tomorrow.


Josh
