Kudos to the presenters today, especially in period five. Emily Mack, Maddie Thurin, Madi Meyer, and Vishal Patel each offered strong QBTs that clearly informed us and engaged us. Well done!

Nice job with the gerunds as subjects today. After an initial stumble for a few of us, we all seemed to grasp the concept. Tomorrow: participles! Quiz is approaching!
Started getting deeper into the background discussion for Night, especially in periods five and six. We saw a strong piece of propaganda with the short story "The Poisonous Mushroom" and got a sense of what life in the ghettos might have been like.
Tomorrow will be big in all three classes. You're actively reading the "What is Indifference?" article tonight for some serious class discussion tomorrow. You are also producing two questions-at least one of which should be an open-ended/discussion question. The article is not easy to understand; it might take a couple reads. Yet it's topic is of vital import. It's written by Elie Wiesel, the author of Night, and he is attempting to nail down exactly what indifference, a concept explored in Night, is. After your reading, some small group discussions, a large group gathering, and some quote analysis, you'll be asked to clearly state what you believe indifference is. Read carefully tonight.
The way we are moving, you could have the book by Thursday. Keep working on that nonfiction paper so that you don't get swamped. I'll take those papers up to the 14th, but feel free to turn them in before that.
See you tomorrow.
