Presentation transcript:

Reading Elie Wiesel’s Night

POW: Memoir (noun) A piece of writing that is based on a specific time in the author’s life. Autobiographies tell the story of a life. Memoirs tell just a focused piece of the author’s life.

Today you will meet Elie Wiesel and hear part of his story…later you will read his memoir.

Taking notes on the interview… When the interview ends, please be silent. Write about three moments in the interview in which you learned something you didn’t know or something you had heard was made clearer. Write at least one question you would have for either Elie Wiesel or a Holocaust history expert.

Oprah Winfrey described the interview you are about to see as “the privilege of my lifetime.” and-Elie-Weisel-at-Auscwitz-Full- Movie-YouTube Please do not ask to use the bathroom during this interview. It is serious business.

When you have written your reflection on the interview… When everyone has had a chance to write, please listen while other students share their questions or observations. When it is your turn, share yours. Here is my question: Elie Wiesel’s memoir is a true story. I wonder which of the many fictional films and books about the Holocaust he thinks is worthy of our time?

Begin reading Night… You should be finished reading Chunk #1 by Tuesday. Your should also be done with the Chunk #1 Journal Assignment at the beginning of class on Tuesday. Expect a quiz on Chunk #1 – it will be closed book and open journal. You will have Friday to read and work on the journal assignment.
