Nonfiction Pairing with The Giver-Use your writer's notebook and the link below to address the questions embedded into Ms. Hugo's excerpt from "The ABC's of the German School System" and "How Can You Control Your Dreams?" There are twenty-one questions total, so label each question in your notebook accordingly. Use complete sentences, and answer each question as you progress through the excerpt or article. Do not read both pieces and then go back to address the questions.
