Tomorrow you will have a test over Night.
Your Night project is due tomorrow! Don't forget! Your essay about Night is due on April 5. In an argumentative essay, determine whether or not Wiesel’s relationship with his father changed in the memoir Night. There must be at least 5 paragraphs, and a counterclaim must be present to make this an argumentative essay. You must cite specific instances within the memoir as you write this paper. Refer to the handouts I gave you to direct you to page numbers. Complete reading Night. If you did not finish it during class, please write the main claim and address the conclusion. Please read section 8 of Night. Also, write the counterclaim of your practice essay. Tomorrow, we will address the main claim. Please read section 7 of Night. If you know you did not pass the pop quiz today, please write a one page summary of section 6. Also, if you did not finish it in class, please complete your intro and body paragraphs of your essay about a four-day school week. Please complete the comparison/contrast of the excerpt from Maus and section 5. What is the tone toward being in the infirmary? Also, please read section 6. Also, please finish organizing and filling out your outline for your practice argumentative essay. We went over the advantages and disadvantages in class and talked about whom to focus on in your outline. You took pictures of this! Make sure that you read section 4 tonight! No quiz tomorrow. I have other things I need to cover. However, I may give a pop quiz if people are not participating and discussing the reading. Make sure that you complete the Cattle Car letter questions from what we did in class today. Your Night project is due on March 22. In case you have lost your salmon-colored copy of the directions, here are the directions again:
Night Project: Imagine being able to choose 10 things – only ten – that represent you and/or your life. What would those 10 things be? 1. The 10 Things that Make Me: Create a list/representation of those ten things you would choose. Along with the list, provide an explanation for each item. Why did you choose what you did? How does this one thing represent you or an aspect of your life? If this is not typed, it should be written VERY neatly. 2. Who I am: On the back of your paper, write a paragraph in response to the following question: If someone who did not know you were to find these ten items, what type of person would they believe you to be? What type of person would you want them to imagine? 3. Final Farewell: Write/type a half page letter (double spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font) that you would want to be found with your items. They must simply tell of who you are, who to say goodbye to, and what is going on. Write as if you are a Jew – like Elie – and you know only what he knew when he was deported. (This is much like the cattle car letters you did with a partner.) *****Your name should be on the back of your paper – do not include it on the front. On the front, where your name would normally go (in the top, right-hand corner), put a number. It should have some significance to you so that you recognize it in the future. *****If one of your items is a photo, feel free to include it with the paper (attached or on the paper as a printed image). If you would like your list to be photos of your items, that will work as well! Be creative and put thought into this! I want an insightful look into your life and how you view yourself. DUE Friday, March 22nd Remember to read section 3 of Night by Elie Wiesel. There will be a comprehension quiz on the reading and over the previous two sections. |
