Engage Learning Conference 2024

During the Ceremony of Twelve in Lois Lowry's The Giver, Jonas and others in his age group receive their "Assignments"--or the jobs for which they will begin training. Like the members of Jonas's community, students in Mrs. Wiggins's class use this novel as a springboard for career exploration: completing a career interest inventory, researching possible vocations, and incorporating and presenting their findings using Google Sites. Students love this high-interest project that incorporates literary, research, and digital media standards into a dazzling finished product.
