Comp. Lit. II:

Today:

A Block: 
Journal:  Write an entry as if you were on the train with Elie.  Use all of your senses to write.   1pg

We moved class outside and Ms. Nijssen had you go around in a circle a share something you found interesting, as well as a question that you had from the reading.  She explored the importance to the number 7.  We looked at how this number is used in the bible and in different religions.  You wrote a 7 line poem, modeled after the one given to you.  The poem needed to start "Never shall I forget."

C Block:
We discussed your reading.
You wrote a poem based on the key concept of hope.  We shared these and continued our discussion of the power of hope and what can happen when people lose hope.
We took a quiz on your reading.

I shared a web collection of poems about the holocaust.  You can find these here:
