ISTEP coming this Friday and next Monday! Are you ready? I'd be reviewing my notes. I'd be taking some practice quizzes on line like this one here. we'll keep working in class, but do what you can to improve outside of class as well.
Some surprising struggles on the Holocaust quiz today. While plenty of people did well, several did not fare as well. Review notes. Listen in class. Get involved. That's when the learning starts taking root.
We read a few more pages in Night today. Moishe is taken away and comes back with some horrible stories. Why won't the people of Sighet believe him? Is it tied into one of the essential questions? Is their faith in their safety reasonable or are they holding onto false hope?
Lots of indifference in this section already as well. Be on the lookout for more.
Dehumanization—or the act of making someone feel less than human—is also prevelant. The Nazis did an amazing job of dehumanizing the Jews. What did that get them? What was the purpose of the dehumanization?
You need to read to page 14 in the book tonight. Read down to the second break. The last line you read should be "There was nobody outside." Highlight and mark up the text like we have been doing in class. you've seen what I want you to do; now complete it on your own.
We will look at the above questions and several others when we come together tomorrow.
See you soon.
