(not a professional teacher) If I was trying to keep as much of the original structure as possible, I would say: 1-The book I put under the bed, and the notebook I gave to John. 2-The book? I put it under the bed, and the notebook I gave to John.
More natural for me would be simply, "I put the book under the bed and gave the notebook to John."
