Background Information Activities- Day Two

Hi guys! I read all your comments from Tuesday and Edwin and Kiana both did really good jobs! Make sure you answer all parts of the question
and write in complete sentences. We aren't doing free writes anymore. If you need to watch the video again or reread a section of the book that's fine, but you need to make sure your answer is complete.

In case you need a reminder, you should:

1. Watch the assigned video on brainpop

2. Use the fact you learned from the video to help you answer the question for your book in the comment. REMEMBER: you need to use a username I will recognize!

Brave New World:

Watch the brainpop video on drug use (click on health and then personal health) What type of drug (stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogen) do you think soma is most like? Why? Do you think that characters in the book are addicted to it? Why or why not?


The Giver

Watch the brainpop video on dreams (click on health and then personal health) Families in Jonas's world start every morning with a "dream-telling." Why do you think the community decided that everyone should have to share their dreams with others. Use details from the book in your answer.

  2. THE GIVER

    I think the community decided that everyone have to share their dreams with others because it could gave them a warning to the future. As the character Lily talked about her dream which is getting caught by the Security Guards. At the book it says "They all listened carefully and discuss with Lily the warning that the dream had given." Also at the brainpop it says "It was commonly believed that dreams were omens- messages about future events."

  3. Why do you think the community decided that everyone should have to share their dreams with others?

    I think that they have the "dream-telling" because some of the dreams might happen in the future and also Jonas dreamed with Fiona the girl that he likes his dream was that he wanted to bath here in the House of Olds. This dream helped his parents know that they had to start giving him pills so he wouldn't feel emotions for Fiona.

  4. i think the family members shared their dreams because jonas "sometimes waked up with a feeling of fragments afloat
    in his sleep, but he didnt seen to grasp them and put them together into something worthy of telling at the ritual" so i think dat would help him 2 think over and over about his future! :)

  7. Why do you think the community decided that everyone should have to share their dreams with others?

    I think they have to share dreams because I think it would help out the comunity with others and the future of the people that are in the ritual. It also would express how the dream happens. I also belive that it nescassary to share dreams in the ritual that Jonas is in.
