7th grade: Today in Language Arts-Reader's Workshop

All students read in their books for 10 minutes. Ms. Black led the students through an activity related to The Giver. Each student was seated at a desk with a colored piece of paper. Students had 2 minutes to record their emotions about the color on the piece of paper and then they switched to a new station. At the new station was another piece of paper with different colored paper. Students cycled through 5 different stations. Then students gathered into a discussion circle and had a class discussion about their feelings about each color and discussed major themes in The Giver (such as sameness, choice, etc).

Homework: None.
