Meredith O'Neill is a high-school English teacher and top-rated seller on Teachers Pay Teachers. She creates and sells educational products for teachers and students. She is proud to release her podcast series on Lois Lowry's famous YA novel, The Giver. The podcasts in this series are designed to assist students' deep understanding of the novel. Teachers are encouraged to use these audio synopses in class and post them to their online classrooms for easy access.

This Chapters 17 synopsis covers Jonas's new depth of feelings as a result of holding memories, including his upset over the "war" game and his growing isolation. We also cover the meaning of "Release" and look at important passages from the chapter.

These synopses coordinate with Meredith O'Neill's The Giver by Lois Lowry Giant Unit Bundle which is for sale ⁠on TPT⁠.
