Description

These engaging informational texts are perfect paired readings for any unit on The Giver. The texts--both informational articles and videos--are carefully selected to get your students thinking about utopias, dystopias, and Lois Lowry's famous book, The Giver. This set of paired reading texts also includes CCSS aligned higher level questions that help your students dig even deeper into the informational texts and connect the main ideas with The Giver. Since all of the information is delivered as a Google Slide, it's perfect for distance learning or leading a whole class discussion. The discussion questions can also be used as individual writing prompts. Pair them with my CCSS aligned chapter questions to keep students engaged and reading throughout the whole book!

This product includes:

1) 5 engaging informational texts--articles and videos--that discuss Lois Lowry, dystopias, utopias, and more

2) CCSS aligned higher level discussion questions / writing prompts

A quick note:

All of the articles and videos included in this slideshow are available for free online. The questions, however, were specifically developed to connect the informational texts with Lois Lowry's book and help students dig deeper into a dystopian unit or novel study.
