Activities to be used in the classroom to accompany the reading of The Giver by Lois Lowry.

The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. This movie tie-in edition features cover art from the movie and exclusive Q&A with members of the cast, including Taylor Swift, Brenton Thwaites and Cameron Monaghan.

Teaching literature unit based on the popular children's story, The giver.

The Go-Giver tells the story of an abitious young man named Joe who yearns for success but is frustrated in his efforts. Over the course of one week, through encounters with an enigmatic consultant named Pindar and a series of Pindar's friends, Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving--putting others' interests first and continually addin value to their lives--ultimately leads to unexpected returns. Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a classic bestseller that brings to life the old proverb "Give and you shall receive."Originally intended for adult readers, The Go-Giver touched a chord in readers from all walks of life--including avid young readers, from middle school through college age. Shortly after its 2007 publication the book was picked up by Randy Stelter, a high school English teacher and athletic director in the northwest Indiana school system. Randy used the book to help enhance his students' perspective on "what it's going to take to be successful in the real world," and has taken his school's senior class through the book every year since. Soon other educators began following suit, adopting the book as part of their curricula at every level from high school through graduate school.Now Randy has teamed up with Go-Giver authors Bob Burg and John David Mann to create this Teacher's Guide, a detailed lesson plan that includes vocabulary lists, assigned readings, questions for comprehension, extensive topics for class discussion, questions for critical thinking, and a set of final projects designed to deepen students' understanding of the book and to ground its lessons in their own everyday experience. While designed as a high school curriculum, the Guide's content and approach can also be adapted for use in higher-education settings.
