10. Contrasts and Contradictions The character acts in a way that is contradictory to how he has acted or that contrasts with how we would act or that reveals a difference among characters. Text Clue: Author shows actions or feelings that we havenât seen before. Question: Why would the character act (feel) this way?
11. MemoryMoment The author interrupts the flow of the story by letting the character remember something. Text Clue: âI rememberâŠâ âThe memory flooded backâŠâ âIt was a strange memoryâŠâ âShe suddenly rememberedâŠâ Question: Why might this memory be important?
12. Tough Questions A character asks himself or a trusted friend a tough question or tough questions that reveal concerns (internal conflict) the character has. Text Clue: Questions, often asked of self, that canât be answered Sometimes offered as statement, âI wonder ifâŠâ Question: What does this question make me wonder about?
13. Ah-Ha The character realizes or comes to understand something that therefore changes his thinking or his actions Text Clues I suddenly realized⊠Now I understood why⊠It hit me with a force⊠I knew what I had to do⊠Question: What might the character do now?
14. Last Line An author ends the chapter (segment) with a last line that adds surprising information or suggests a new idea Text Clue: A single-sentence that stands alone as a paragraph Begins with But, And, or Or Asks a question Might be in italics Question: What does this line make me wonder about?
15. ErinâSeptember, 6th grade âUm, I think that, I think that next, well next. I think that well, I think more is going to happen with her being with them. And then she will probably go home. Because they donât seem like forever kidnappers.â
16. ErinâJanuary, 6th grade Here, right when Luke, he decides to go to the house, so he had just been thinking about it, but here, he decided to go, well, I noticed that because he was doing something different, like a contradiction on how he had been acting, and so I noticed that. And that made me think that Luke, heâs like maybe getting braver some. But thatâs going to be a problem because he needs to stay hidden. So, I think maybe that whatâs going to happen is about him not wanting to stay hidden. Maybe like for the conflict.
17. MarkâAugust, 8th grade I guess I think that maybe, I guess that, that something else is going to happen.
18. MarkâNovember, 8th grade I stopped here because notice how it said that he had a sad smile. Smiles arenât sad. I noticed that because it was really a contradiction and I wondered why he would be sad and smiling. I think that the Giver is smiling because heâs still trying to make Jonas feel good about this assignment but he also knows something that Jonas doesnât know. This part made me think that something important is finally going to happen thatâs about Jonas finding out something.
19. MeganâOctober, 7th grade Megan: Missâlook! Itâs that again and again. The story of the Denmark king. See, sheâs remembering it again. Where was it first? Where was it? Can you find it? I donât know where it was but this is like the, I donât know, like it was a lot, that she keeps remembering this story, remember that her dad told her about the Denmark king and how anyone would fight for him?
20. Megan Kylene: Why do you think this keeps coming up again and again? Megan: Because. Because. I think it is because, oh, I know, see how she keeps remembering that anyone would do anything to save him. Ohâthis is that foreshadowing. Here it is! This is foreshadowing. Oh my God. Itâs right here! Do you think Mrs. Lowry knows she did this?
