Language Arts Novel study

In LA, we introduced our novel study.  We will be reading The Giver by Lois Lowry.  Students will receive a novel notebook.  This will be our learning tool for the remainder of the year along with other supplemental materials and activities.  This is an in-class novel study.  I am providing a class set of novels.  Students are not required to purchase the book; however, if you fall behind in reading, I can't check out the class set.  I am providing a calendar of events and due dates for the remainder of the year.  I suggest printing this and keeping it handy!  Please know that all dates on calendar are subject to change.
