The Giver: Museum Box Project
In The Giver, Jonas wonders why one person must be the
receiver of all the community’s memories.
The Giver explains that it was decided that it was the best way to avoid
pain. Jonas feels that it would be
easier if the memories were shared equally.
In fact, there are memories that he is given that have much pleasure and
joy. We are going to create a Museum Box
that holds our collective memories:
memories of our childhoods, of our relatives and of our country’s
past. Each of you will create a cube in
the Museum Box that will represent your family memories. Unlike Jonas’ community, we will all be
receivers and shares of memory!

Your cube needs to include the following:

2. Story describing the picture and the
importance of this memory
3. Story of a relative’s childhood
4. Story of a historical event your relative
remembers from their life
5. A picture or video of the historical event
6. An item of importance to you. This could be a place you have visited, an
interest you have, something that makes you unique. It can be a picture, a video, a link to a web page, a song, a drawing or poem you made. Be creative with this!
