This Week in Health

This week in Health we talked about self-esteem and communication skills.
Here are some good things about having high self-esteem:

• Respect yourself
• Easier to reach goals
• More willing to try
• Feel valuable

 To have good communication skills, you need to have good speaking skills, listening skills, and nunchuck skills.

Characters in The Giver

The main characters in The Giver are:

• Jonas
• The Giver
• Lily
• Asher
• Father
• Mother

Antagonist: The Government
Protagonist: The Giver and Jonas 

Setting of The Giver

The Giver is set in a utopian society in the future, I think...

Point of View of The Giver

Okay, so I'm not exactly sure what the point of view in The Giver is. The book refers to Jonas as Jonas, but is from his perspective. Here, I'll show you...

"It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought."

And that is why it's confusing.

This Week in Health

This week in Health, we picked 10 healthy recipes to make in Health class. Some of my favorites were:

• 3-Bean Turkey Chili
• Chocolate Strawberries
• Hummus
• Salsa
• Spinach Artichoke Dip

Also, we filled out a calendar for February (heart health month) with a different goal every day.
And we learned about setting long-term (take a long time to acheive) and short-term (acheived quickly) goals.
Six Suggestions for Setting Goals:
Make sure your goal is...

1. Safe
2. Satisfying
3. Sensible
4. Similar
5. Specific
6. Supported
