When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing. ~Enrique Jardiel Poncela

Our final writing assignment for The Giver is in full swing.  You are all courageous to have read this novel, now take your courage forward into your writing.  Revise, rewrite, and rewrite some more.  Try not to be satisfied by the quantity of words-but by the quality of your writing.  Use this digital world to find better word choice. Don't fear making changes, even if it means you need to delete a few sentences.  Be brave, wordsmiths, as you reflect on Jonas and his community.

    1. Good organization and writing take time. I wonder how long it took Lois Lowry to write The Giver? Hmm.... Keep it up, Joshua!

  10. Writing can be intense, but it need not be. Just follow the directions and "use what you know!" Good work, Ryan!
