Mrs zvi
I was writing my essay and I was a bit confused. Is it like you have to tell the theme and then the story?

Mrs Zvi

6/23/2013 11:59:29

You don't have to retell the the story. Just make the argument supporting what you think the theme is and why. So each paragraph would be another reason that your theme is the theme of the book. I hope that makes sense.

Oh okay thanks. To make it clear you have to give three reasons in paragraphs why that is the theme and use quotes from the book as evidence.

Mrs Zvi

That is the most traditional way that most people use. I am okay with you doing 2-4 (or really any number of paragraphs/arguments that you have).

Good luck! I'm sure it will be wonderful!!!

Mrs. Zvi I was never there when we worked on The Giver essay and I was away all weekend and I dont really know how to write a essay. So could I have some help with that tomorrow please:)

Of course! Can you pop in a bit early? Otherwise...recess?

Mrs.Zvi since I was sick and did not come to the last giver session, could you tell me more about the giver essay.

Mrs. Zvi

6/23/2013 22:11:37

You can have an extra day, jaskaran! The essay is supposed to be about the theme of the novel. So instead of summarizing the plot, I want you to think about what the message of the book was. The underlying theme of the book. And then give evidence from the book to support your point. I can help you with this tomorrow morning! Can you come in a bit early?

Mrs.Zvi I left my book at school :( and I can't get the evidence so could I be able to hand in the essay Tuesday.

Mrs Zvi

6/23/2013 23:33:51

Yes! Tuesday is fine.

(this message is for Saadiya) Can you come in early tommorrow to work on Giver.

Saadiya

6/24/2013 18:00:58

Ya, I can come in early. Should I come at 8?

Blea

6/24/2013 18:02:29

I will be there around 8:10 because I live pretty far away and i have to walk. I will finish as much as I can.

Blea

6/24/2013 18:15:52

Instead of making a skit do you want to just make a continuing story to the giver. It would be easier.

Saadiya

6/24/2013 19:59:29

Okay. We won't even have lot's of time anyway, so then we'll just do that. :)

Mrs. Zvi

6/24/2013 18:17:55

Oh! I would to read your continuation of The Giver!!

Simran B :)

6/24/2013 18:52:31

Mrs Zvi

6/24/2013 20:16:25

of course!!

what should the ending to the essay look like?

Mrs Zvi

6/24/2013 20:14:47

A conclusion usually summarizes your main points and maybe leaves us with a thought or question to think about.
