MONDAY
In class today
We talked about many matters relating to Night--the significance of the earlier group poster work on the Nazis' imposition of restrictions on the Jews and the dehumanization process, the predictions of (and responses to) Moshe the Beadle and Madame Schacter, and some of the friendships/human bonds Eli experiences during the camps. We also outlined ideas to think about as you complete the reading and study questions: father/son pairs, Eli's religious faith (and the changes it undergoes), and the reasons for choosing not to write for so long, or choosing to write at all.

I opened a final late-filing folder for anyone who has not managed to submit the Macbeth essay.

Upcoming Work
1. Complete the study questions for p. 63-end for tomorrow. These will be stamped, and ALL the Night-related study questions will be collected on the day of the quiz.

2. Read the short story "A Spring Morning"; do the accompanying study questions for Wednesday, Dec. 6.

3. Also on Wednesday: Quiz over Unit 6 vocabulary.

4. There will be a Night quiz either Thursday or Friday--I'll tell you for sure tomorrow. (We're seeing a short film before we do "Swing Kids," and I'm not sure if it's in DVD format or VHS--and that makes a difference in my scheduling.)
