All students read in their independent books for 10 minutes. We read Chapter 5 in The Giver together and had a class discussion on the newest development in this novel-this community's need to control even their members' attractions to other members of the community. The discussion moved in different directions but some of the issues discussed were: Why would this community need to give pills to adolescents once they start experiencing the "Stirrings"? How and why does this community need to control their members so much? What psychological consequences would living in this community have on its members?
In 7B we talked a little bit about arranged marriages as well in eastern societies and in 7A we also talked about what it would be like to live in a community where so little choice was given.
