1933.
1939.
1941.
1945.
Tell me what important events happened in those years (the events we talked about in class today) and I'll sign your Archer card.
We are all over the place with our knowledge of World War II and the Holocaust. We had a good discussion today, but there's more we need to get to. First we need to be sure we all have a solid understanding of the background. I want you to feel comfortable as we start our reading of Night next week. Here is a link to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum that will help you have a better understanding of the time period. It's a reliable site and it is chock full of super information. Check it out! In the mean time we will look at a few more pictures tomorrow and read a couple articles on some key concepts. Have those highlighters.
The Night books will probably be in your hands on Monday. That means you have a few more days to work on your nonfiction books, QBTs, and papers before you receive an additional assignment. Use the time wisely. After three weeks, those books should be finished. Get busy!
After the last couple of days you all know what gerunds are. You also have a decent grasp on participles after today. Quick which one always ends in -ing? Which one is a verb acting as an adjective? Which one is a verb acting as a noun? What are three types of verbals? What is "to eat"? If you could answer those questions easily, then you are doing fine. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you better review those notes.
Good stuff coming tomorrow. See you then.
