This will be your first assignment for the year. As you know, we have been looking at the novel, 'Night' by Elie Weisel.We have looked at some of the key themes in the book (pain, suffering, etc) and had some great whole class discussion in the class - well done!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due: Friday, Oct. 1st.
For your first assignment you will be given the choice to write about one of the following:
-If you were told you had to leave your home (as Mr. Weizel's family was) and you were told you could only bring a bookbag, some food and one other item - what would that item be and why?
-His father was assigned with the task of informing the community about the sudden transport. Imagine that you are in his place. What would you say? Why?
-His family has a chance to escape to a safe house, but the father refuses. The children, afraid to part from their parents, also decide to stay in the ghetto. Do you believe that they made a wise decision?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your answers should be in paragraph form (2 paragraph minimum). Also, you should make reference to the novel is possible.
The rubric we are using for this assignment will not post so I will hand it out in class.
Once you have submitted your work, I would like you to comment on two or three of your fellow classmates work. If possible, respond back to someone who commented on your work.
I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
Take care, ~Mrs. Clark
