UPDATE! UPDATE!

There's so much to talk about after the past week! All class periods should have started reading NIGHT by Elie Wiesel and completed questions based on their reading. PERIOD 5 and 6 should have read up to page 16 and PERIOD 9 should have read up to page 34. We will be finishing our viewing of the documentary "Forgiving Dr. Mengele" and discussing the notion of forgiveness as it relates to Eva Kor and our recent Holocaust speaker, Mr. Werner Reich.

NIGHT Group Slideshows

Good morning class!
I say that with an exclamation mark because we are about to embark on one of my favorite literature units of all time. In the next 2-3 weeks we will be reading the stunningly powerful memoir, NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. In order to truly appreciate the struggle of Mr. Wiesel, it is important to understand (or at least become knowledgeable of) the events that lead to the Holocaust, and the atrocities that took place during the Holocaust.

Below you will find a link to our pre-reading project. You will be divided into groups and assigned different roles for the presentaion. We will start presenting on Thursday and finish presentation on Friday. There will be bonus points for those groups that finish in time for Thursday's presentation.
