Bluetooth is a portable technology that is commonly used with cell phones and computers. This high-frequency, short-range wireless technology adds a new layer of functionality and greatly enhances the enjoyment of these devices. Knowing what this technology is capable of will allow you to best use it to your advantage.
Cell Phone Uses
Bluetooth is compatible with almost all modern cell phones as a way to connect other devices to it. Devices like wireless headsets allow you to keep the phone in your pocket or purse while talking with a headset attached to your ear. Wireless headphones allow you to listen to music if your phone has a digital music player and supports stereo Bluetooth. Finally, you can sync the phone to the computer in order to "tether" Internet access or transfer files.
Computer Uses
Most laptop computers come with Bluetooth installed while most desktop computers need a Bluetooth USB adapter (called a "dongle") installed to enable functionality. Bluetooth is an easy way to wirelessly transfer large files from one Bluetooth-enabled computer to another. It can also allow the syncing of personal digital assistants, cell phones and other portable computing devices to transfer many types of files.
Wireless Computer Peripherals
Wireless keyboards, mice, controllers and speaker systems are just a few of the computer peripherals that are available with Bluetooth technology. These are handy if you have to travel and need a wireless solution for your computer, or if your PDA doesn't accept USB devices. Simply sync the Bluetooth device with your computer, install the drivers and you're good to go. Game systems like the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft's Xbox use Bluetooth technology in their controllers as well.

Instruction Have students read Chapters 17, 18, and 19. Complete Cornell notes for each chapter.
Research and Analysis After having read Chapter 19, we now know that to be "released" is a another word for euthanasia, and the reader also sees how horrified Jonas is of this practice. Inform students that euthanasia is the practice of ending someone's life to ease their suffering. Have student groups research and analyze information about euthanasia and the data/opinions of euthanasia using the following websites: – http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/196711/euthanasi a http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/196711/euthanasi a – http://www.euthanasia.com/index.html http://www.euthanasia.com/index.html – http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=00 0126 http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=00 0126
After researching, have student groups complete a visual (Prezi, PowerPoint, poster, podcast), showcasing the information learned about euthanasia.

Lesson EQ: How does an author develop point of view within a text?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL6, ELACC7W3. Task Reading text; exploring point of view; annotating and analyzing for point of view
Instruction Have students read chapters 20, 21, and 22. Provide direct instruction to the class on point of view. Instruct students on the different types of point of view, especially focusing in on third person limited and third person omniscient. The following websites may be useful in planning for this instruction: – http://www.kimskorner4teachertalk.com/readingliter ature/literary_elements_devices/pov.pdf http://www.kimskorner4teachertalk.com/readingliter ature/literary_elements_devices/pov.pdf – http://www.austincc.edu/dws/assign6lecture02.html http://www.austincc.edu/dws/assign6lecture02.html
Point of View Have the students complete an analysis of the extended text's point of view. Instruct students to find textual examples within the text to show which type point of view the author uses. Have students use the following chart.
Textual Evidence (include page number) Which type of point of view did Lois Lowry use in the novel? Why do you think the author selected this type point of view? How would the story's perspective change if it were told from a different point of view? Which other type of point of view would the author have selected (third person omniscient, objective, first person)? What were the benefits of the author writing in a third person limited point of view?) Textual Evidence Chart
Textual Evidence (include page number) Which type of point of view did Lois Lowry use in the novel? Why do you think the author selected this type point of view? How would the story's perspective change if it were told from a different point of view? Which other type of point of view would the author have selected (third person omniscient, objective, first person)? What were the benefits of the author writing in a third person limited point of view?) On page 159, Lowry writes, "They both laughed a little nervously. But Jonas was certain that he could slip away, unseen, from his house, carrying an extra set of clothing." The reader is privy to Jonas's thoughts, but the reader is limited to only Jonas's thoughts and feelings.. This author chose third person limited point of view in telling the story through the character of Jonas' character and revealing the secrets of the community as Jonas finds them out. There would not be as many "gasp" moments and the realization that the community is not as perfect as it seems would not happen. Lowry could have used first person and still used Jonas as the main character. Using third person limited keeps the reader from learning too much too soon about the communities faults. Possible Answers
Homework Have students retell the Ceremony of Twelve scene read earlier in chapter 8 from a different character's point of view. Instead of it being told from Jonas's point of view, have the students rewrite the scene from Lily's point of view. Point out to students that the retelling of the scene should also include the selection of Jonas as Receiver. Have the students choose either a first person point of view or a third person limited point of view from Lily's perspective.
Lesson EQ: How can we determine the theme or underlying meaning in a text?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL2, ELACCRL3, ELACCSL1, ELACCSL2, ELACCSL3, ELACCSL4, ELACCSL5 Task Exploring theme; annotating and analyzing for theme
Instruction Explicit instruction should be given over theme. The following websites may help when planning for instruction: – (http://www.education.com/magazine/article/Tac kling_Theme_Literature/)http://www.education.com/magazine/article/Tac kling_Theme_Literature/ – (http://www.ttms.org/say_about_a_book/themes _and_variations.htm)http://www.ttms.org/say_about_a_book/themes _and_variations.htm Have students read Chapter 23.
Have students in groups of three or four to analyze and determine possible themes that the author is trying to convey in this work of literature. Students may determine some of the following as possible themes: – Memory – importance of this in our lives – Individuality – sameness and diversity – Love/family – worth the risk to feel the love from friends and family – Pain and Pleasure – the relationship that exists between the two
Have student groups plan and create a 3 to 5 minute presentation for the class over the possible theme or themes that their group determined about the novel. Instruct student groups that they must cite evidence and incidents in the novel that support the possible theme or themes that they determine.
The Giver – Finding the Theme Theme(s)Evidence or Incidents from the Text Explanation/ Details on the Evidence/Incident
Homework Have students write their feelings on how the story ended. Have students write their opinion on whether Jonas and Gabriel lived or died at the end of the novel. Instruct students that they will share their responses in class the next day
Lesson EQ: How can reading nonfiction help us make connections to literature?
Standards ELACC7RI1, ELACC7RI2, ELACCRI3, ELACC7RI4, ELACCRI5, ELACCRI6, ELACCRI7, ELACCRI8, ELACC7RI9, ELACC7RI10, ELACCW9, ELACCSL6 Task Reading speech; analyzing and annotating speech; viewing interview clip
Speech Have student groups read Lois Lowry's "Newbery Acceptance Speech." The speech can be found at the following link: (http://www.loislowry.com/index.php?option =com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=2 00)http://www.loislowry.com/index.php?option =com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=2 00
After students have read her speech, have the student groups answer the following questions: Throughout her speech, Lowry repeats the words or phrases, "... it was comfortable. It was familiar. It was safe." Why does Lowry make the community in the novel comfortable, familiar, and safe? What personal life incidents caused her to want this kind of community? By having a society that is comfortable, familiar, and safe, Lowry says that we lose out on certain things. What certain things did she say that we would lose or become obsolete? What do you think about the influence that Carl Nelson had on her life? Who is someone who has influenced you in your life? Did you think that he was the person on the cover of the novel? Lowry writes in her speech, "We can forget pain, I think. And it is comfortable to do so." Do you agree with Lowry's statement that we can forget pain? Why or why not? Lowry questions whether or not it is safe to forget pain or not. Do you think it is safe to forget pain? Lowry writes about an incident in which she did not react to a violent act of murder because it did not affect her or her community. How do you react to violence when it doesn't affect you or your family or community? Would you react the same way that Lowry reacted? Is this right? Lois Lowry does not provide a "right" ending to her novel. She does give some different interpretations from students though. Do you believe or agree with any of these students' interpretations of the ending? Did they match what you thought the ending was? How do you feel about their not being a "right" ending to this novel?
– Lowry makes several statements near the end of her speech about the importance of reading a book. She says, "But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things." How do you take Lowry's advice on reading books? Does she encourage you in some way to want to read more books? What is her overall tone in this speech? – What do you feel that Lois Lowry is trying to accomplish or get across to her audience? – What were the most important points that your group felt Lowry made in her speech? – What was probably the most interesting or surprising fact that you learned from reading this speech? – After reading her speech, how do you feel about her as a person and as a writer? – What similarities in Lowry's life did you see in the novel? Were there any specific incidents in her life that you may have seen portrayed in the novel? Describe those incidents and the comparison to the event in the novel. (For example, she met the man named Carl Nelson, and his eyes were different. In the novel, the reader sees Jonas who also has different eyes.)
Have student groups report back to the class their responses and reactions to the speech. Hold a class discussion over these questions. Have students view an interview with Lois Lowry as she discusses her book, The Giver. You can access the interview at the following link: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYGGs2lxtjY)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYGGs2lxtjY – Have students compare and contrast Lois Lowry's "Newbery Acceptance Speech" with her live interview. Hold a class discussion comparing and contrasting the two versions.
Homework Have students write a letter to Lois Lowry, describing and explaining their personal feelings and reactions to the novel. Instruct the students to simply tell the author how they feel about the book.
Lesson EQ: How can I effectively show what I have learned in this text study?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7W1 (a, b, c, d, e), ELACCW4 Task Writing Assessment 2
Have students complete the following writing assessment In Lois Lowry's, The Giver, Jonas's community does not have choice and free will. However, Jonas as the next Receiver of Memory begins to receive memories, which allows him to learn about different changes and choices in life. Jonas believes that the community should experience these memories. In Chapter 22, it states, "Once he had yearned for choice. Then, when he had had a choice, he had made the wrong one: the choice to leave." As Jonas leaves the community, he discovers many things. Decide if Jonas made the right choice in leaving the community. Did his leaving produce more positive or more negative results? Support your response with evidence from the text.

Here are some of the following responses that they may list: – "The house was an alter with 10,000 attendants, big, small, servicing, attending, in choirs. But the gods had gone away and the ritual of the religion continued senselessly, uselessly." – "There, down tubes which fed into the cellar, it was dropped into the sighing vent of an incinerator which sat like evil Baal in a dark corner." – "At 4:00 the tables folded like great butterflies back through the paneled walls." – "The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks." – "And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn..." – "The fire crackled up the stairs."
Homework Have students compare and contrast the short story, "There Will Come Soft Rains," with the poem, "There Will Come Soft Rains."
Lesson EQ: How do authors use symbolism to further their arguments?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL2, ELACC7L5 (a, b) Task Exploring symbolism; annotating and analyzing text
Instruction Have students share what they think of when they hear the word "lottery." As students share, write their responses on the white board or chart paper. Review symbolism and have students read the short story titled, "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson. http://www.americanliterature.com/Jackson/SS/TheLo ttery.html http://www.americanliterature.com/Jackson/SS/TheLo ttery.html Discuss with students the symbolic meaning of the black box, the black dot, and the stones within the story.

Lesson EQ: How do authors use setting to help impact the mood of the text?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL3, ELACC7SL4 Task Exploring setting and mood; annotating and analyzing for setting and mood
Instruction Provide mini-lesson on setting and mood and how authors use setting to create the mood of a story. – It is important to note that students need to know more than just where and when the story takes place, but students need to realize that setting can create a feeling or emotional response in the text, which we call mood.
Discuss with students the setting of the short story, "The Lottery." Have students pull out specific words, phrases, or sentences that support the setting of the story and convey the mood of the story. In analyzing the story for setting and mood, students may find the following examples: – "The morning of June 27 th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." – "The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock..." – "... but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people..."
Have students share their setting examples with the class. As students share, write their responses on the white board or chart paper. Have students discuss what kind of feeling or emotional effect these have on the mood of the story. For example, these setting details listed above establish a mood that is of excitement because it is a beautiful, sunny morning, and every citizen is in attendance for the lottery. Have students discuss the mood at the beginning of the story and how this mood begins to change throughout the course of the story.
Lesson EQ: How does understanding a character's traits, emotions, and appearances impact the meaning of the text?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL3, ELACC7RL9, ELACC7W10, ELACC7L3 Task Exploring characterization; analyzing and annotating text
Instruction Provide a review lesson over characterization in fiction. Make sure students know the following terms: – characterization – indirect characterization – direct characterization – protagonist – antagonist – static – dynamic – character's appearance, behavior, emotions, intellect, and traits
Have students choose a character from one of the short stories that we have read. Students could also choose the house in the short story, "There Will Come Soft Rains." In choosing this character, point out to the students that they are going to have to do a comparison and contrast with another character from a short story or from the novel, The Giver. Have the students mark phrases and passages that describe this character. After giving students time to mark phrases and passages, have the students complete the classification chart over their character. Students should have found textual evidence that shows their character's appearances, emotions, and traits. They should also find similarities and differences between the character that they chose and another character in another text studied in this unit.
Characterization Comparison Characters' NamesTextual EvidenceSimilaritiesDifferences
Response Writing (40%) After students have compared and contrasted their two characters, have students write a response describing their characters' similarities and differences. Instruct the students to specifically include in their responses the following descriptions and explanations: – Main characters' responses or reactions to the environment in which they lived – Main characters' appearances and physical attributes – Main characters' traits and qualities that they possessed
Lesson EQ: What are the differences between phrases and clauses? How can I correctly use phrases and clauses within a sentence?
Standards ELACC7RL1, ELACC7RL3, ELACC7L1 (a) Task Exploring phrases and clauses; annotating text
Instruction Have students use one of the short stories ("The Pedestrian," "There Will Come Soft Rains," and "The Lottery) and pull out several different sentences. Have students explain the function of the phrases and clauses within those specific sentences. For example, the students may pull the following sentence and explain its function of phrases and clauses: – From the short story, "The Pedestrian," by Ray Bradbury: "On this particular evening he began his journey in a westerly direction, toward the hidden sea." – In this sentence, one sees how several phrases and clauses function: on this particular evening – adverb phrase he began – independent clause his journey – noun phrase in a westerly direction – adverb phrase toward the hidden sea – adverb phrase
Have students complete this activity with at least 8 to 10 sentences from the short story they choose. Then have students share sentences and explain it to the class. Have students compare and contrast the short stories that we have read about utopian/dystopian societies. Instruct the students to use the following chart to complete this task.

ABOUT CARS; The Power Behind All Those Ads
By MARSHALL SCHUON
Published: July 8, 1990
This year, for the third year in a row, owners of Acura automobiles ranked them the most satisfying in America in the prestigious J. D. Power Customer Satisfaction Index survey of product quality and dealer service.
According to one measure - the J. D. Power and Associates 1989 Initial Quality Survey - the 1989 Buick Riviera was the most trouble-free American luxury car.
You see the name a lot in newspaper, television and magazine ads with texts like those above. But who and what is this James David Power 3d and his associates, who have become one of the major forces in the automobile business?
For a start, the who is a 59-year-old gentleman from Worcester, Mass., who worked in market research for some of the Detroit manufacturers before moving to California and setting up his own company 22 years ago.
And the what is the company in Agoura Hills, 45 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. J. D. Power employs about 200 people, most of them very busy researching today's marketplace and telling consumers which car breaks down, which car is good, which is so-so and, basically, which car to buy.
J. D. Power makes and breaks, and it is pretty much the only game in town.
''But I haven't heard any carping from manufacturers,'' said Fred Gregory, editor of Motor Trend magazine's yearbook and a longtime observer of the automotive scene. ''For lack of anything else, it's certainly the best thing going.''
And while the impact is hard to quantify, Gregory points out that somebody certainly is paying attention.
''If the amount of advertising that the Power reports stimulate is any indication,'' he said, ''then someone must think the buyers are aware.''
Power's latest efforts to make smarter customers - and to reap the benefits from the manufacturers -made news twice in the last week.
On Monday, the organization dropped the first of its annual shoes when it issued the 1990 IQS, which stands for Initial Quality Survey and which really means a list of the cars that have the fewest problems when they roll off the showroom floor.
On Friday, the company issued its other blockbuster, the Customer Satisfaction Index, in which more than 100,000 buyers of cars and light trucks were polled on their satisfaction with the vehicles and their experiences at the dealership after 12 to 14 months of ownership.
Volkswagen was the biggest gainer in CSI, the survey found, with ''a whopping 17-point move'' that took it to a four-way tie with Mitsubishi for 14th place. Last year, Volkswagen was 26th among the 35 makes surveyed.
''Some domestic makers also demonstrated considerable determination to outpace the import competition,'' the report says. ''While the overall industry average CSI score jumped four points, Buick's improved by seven points, Mercury by six points, and Lincoln advanced by five points.''
It is easy to confuse the two indexes, but the manufacturers and their advertising agencies are careful to keep them straight.
Honda's Acura division, for example, has used earlier CSI information extensively in a campaign that quickly established its infant Legend and Integra models. In Friday's report, Acura came out on top for the fourth year in a row. And last Monday, Toyota's new Lexus division topped the initial-quality list.
That survey compiled responses from 26,100 buyers of 1990 cars and about 6,500 answers from truck buyers. Each customer was asked about problems during the first three months of ownership in a dozen areas, including paint, squeaks, rattles and water leaks.
The manufacturers and their specific models were rated by number of problems reported per 100 vehicles sold. Over all, Toyota's top-ranked Lexus division had 82 problems reported per 100 vehicles; its LS400 model had only 74 problems per 100.
''Once again, automobile manufacturers have improved the quality of their new cars,'' says the July issue of The Power Report, the organization's primary publication. ''The average number of reported problems per 100 cars fell to 142 this year, compared to 151 last year.''
And for the first time, the report says, the barrier of 100 problems per 100 cars was broken, with Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Infiniti all under the magic number. Both Lexus and Infiniti are in their first year in the marketplace, and that makes their top-rank quality particularly surprising, the report says.
''Buick is the leading domestic make with a fifth-place ranking, just ahead of Honda,'' the initial-quality report says. ''Its 6 percent improvement over last year matches the industry average. Last year, Buick was ranked in seventh place, which means it moved ahead of Honda, Nissan and Acura in this year's rankings.''
David Whiteside, the editor of The Power Report, said the company's staff followed ''a fairly straightforward procedure'' in compiling the statistics.
''We mail out questionnaires to people who buy vehicles early in the model year,'' he said. ''This year's was seven pages long and it takes a while to fill it out, but the return rate is better than 30 percent.''
New-car buyers have been focusing increasingly on quality, and this year's shoppers can expect to see manufacturers brag or keep mum, depending on their numbers.
''We do look at those very hard,'' said Jay Qualman, Buick's advertising director. And Buick's advertising agency, McCann-Erickson Inc. of Troy, Mich., has already developed TV spots centered on the new ranking. Qualman said Power notified the agency of the ranking about three weeks ago.
Whiteside said that The Power Report's circulation was only a few thousand, mostly dealers and automotive executives, and that the company's main source of revenue was the research itself.
''It falls into two major categories,'' he said. ''One category is proprietary research in which a company will come to us and ask us to investigate a particular question. The other area, which we are best known for, is what we call syndicated research. We come up with a research idea, develop it, fund it, do it, and then after it's done we sell the results.''
Those results do have their critics, and Whiteside's own publication gives a nod to them, noting complaints that Power has too many variables and indexes. But, he said, there is no single measure that can show a given make or model as the absolute for all consumers.
And Gregory, of Motor Trend magazine, said one of the problems was the relatively small size of the sample.
''Naturally, they can't canvass everyone,'' he said, ''and you have to take all of these things with a grain of salt. But the cars that come up in the surveys are the cars that ought to be there.''

HOW many small business managers listen to Radio 4 in the middle of the morning? I am certainly too busy to do so, although I confess that I have acquired a mobile telephone with a built-in radio so that I can tune in on the train.
I did catch the Prime Minister's interview on Woman's Hour repeated on Saturday, and it, together with the impending Budget, reminded me that the role of government in the life of a small business is getting more, not less, intrusive.
I am thinking, in particular, of the Government's pronouncements on maternity leave. Extending it,

Tracking a Web of Criminals
The FBI Cyber Division's Internet Crime Complaint Center finds patterns and trends in a database of 1.3 million fraud complaints.
Video Transcript
Narrator: Wouldn't it be nice if you could see where that scam e-mail came from? If you could plot a scammer's location on a map, along with their victims? And then go after them?
The FBI Cyber Division's Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership with the nonprofit National White Collar Crime Center, is doing just that. In any given month IC3's website gets about 20,000 complaints. Agents and analysts wade through them to find patterns and trends, and then go after the scammers by sending the investigative leads to law enforcement agencies or FBI field offices.
Supervisory Special Agent Charles Pavelites, IC3: Anyone who's been a victim of crime on the Internet can file a complaint with us. We don't have thresholds for individual complaints. We like to get as much information as possible, and get as much information as possible out to law enforcement in hopes of spurring investigations.
Narrator: The FBI Cyber Division investigates the whole spectrum of Internet crimes, from auction fraud to international threats targeting the U.S. infrastructure.
Assistant Director Shawn Henry, FBI Cyber Division: It's really important for people to understand how significant the threat is from the cyber attack vector to the U.S. economy and the U.S. infrastructure. There are many foreigners, organized crime groups, that are looking to target the U.S. financial infrastructure, because the business of the United States is done on the Internet.
Narrator: The Internet Crime Complaint Center's database holds more than 1.3 million complaints. They can sift through the complaints to target specific frauds, or get an overall picture of current online crime trends.
Pavelites: This would be all kinds of cyber fraud, all kinds of schemes. And, these are just dots, but they represent the information that go with them that we can use to determine trends, determine loss amounts, to determine where we should be focusing our efforts in the fight against cyber crime.
Narrator: To avoid scammers' traps, follow your instincts: don't click on links or open attachments in unsolicited e-mail, and guard your personal information.
Henry: So the consumer really has to ensure that they've got active virus scanning in place, the most recent virus signatures up to date. They've got to have a firewall that monitors the connections between their computer and other computers. And they really have to monitor that and be on top of what the threats are and ensure that they're protecting themselves to the greatest extent possible.
