Today's lesson focused on drawing inferences. For example, Jonas has been selected as the Receiver of Memories. Atticus did well in inferring therefore that the character ,The Giver, was the one to impart memories. We then deduced what type of memories were stored with the Giver based on the text's reciting that Jonas will need to endure pain to become the Receiver of Memories. We further explored the dystopian society's decision to eradicate feelings of pain and loss but at the cost of also erasing all human emotions. Atticus additionally completed a short plot identification exercise on chapters 5 and 6.
