The Giver Chapter 8 audio

Why is everyone confused?

• Because Jonas was skipped

• Because the ceremony ended early

• No reason

Based on the reaction of the crowd (a loud gasp) what can we infer about Jonas being selected as the next Receiver of Memories? (Do you think this is a bad job? A more important job? Is this something anyone can do or is this more special?)

What do Jonas and the old receiver have in common?

• They don't have anything in common

• They both have pale eyes (something very rare in the community)

• They both have short hair

What happened to the last person chosen to be The Receiver of Memories?

• They got lost in the river

• They moved away

• They failed 10 years ago

What is different about this job than the other jobs?

• There is only one person chosen for the job and they cannot be observed by the elders

• There are multiple people chosen and have to check in with the elders throughout their training

• There is no one that is able to replace the receiver

Are you enjoying the video lesson?

• Yes

• No

What will Jonas experience through his training?

• His training is just like everyone elses

• A type of pain no one in the community can understand

• A joyous experience he will remember forever

What does Jonas have that no one else in the community has?

• The ability to "see beyond" like being able to see the apple and the crowd "change"

• The ability to hear from a very far distance

• The ability to move super fast and agile

Jonas's job in the community is "Receiver of Memories" based on that title what do you think Jonas will be doing for the community?
