5 minutes Do Now: End Answer the questions on the sheet, keeping in mind all we have learned about Nazi Germany, WWII, and the Holocaust

Rebel Respect your parents’ wishes If your parent forbade you from doing something you were passionate about, how would you respond? Rebel Respect your parents’ wishes

If you learned there was a dangerous movement in a North or South American country (similar to the Nazi movement), and you knew they planned to take over the United States and imprison people with the same religious beliefs as your family, what would be your reaction? Join a resistance group Assume that country wouldn’t be able to really hurt the U.S. Move to Europe

If enemy soldiers invaded your town, what would be your initial reaction? Fight them/rebel against them Assume the U.S. forces would get rid of them Try to just mind your own business and stay out of their way

If those soldiers were very polite and brought you and your family gifts, would that reaction be different? Yes No

If those soldiers captured and sent away all of the immigrant families in your town (they don’t move you anywhere, but any person whose parents are from another country are sent away), what would you do? Why? Join a resistance group to save those families Allow it to happen and get on with your life Don’t resist at all—try your best not to turn the soldiers on you

As you listen to the first chapter of Night, observe: how do the decisions Elie’s community make differ from yours?

Predict: How is this story going to differ from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas? What tone do you think the author has so far? What mood has Elie Wiesel created so far? What purpose do you think he hopes to achieve?
