4. To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.
First they came…
Read the poem, “First They Came…”
Background on Martin Niemoller & “First They Came…”
Is this a piece of literary protest?
Share modernized version by Lichfield
Next, consider what groups you’ve observed the persecution of and by whom.
Create your own modernized version of this poem, mimicking its structure, but changing its content to reflect your own views of social injustices.
To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.
-Elie Wiesel

5. Night | Chapters 2 & 3
Simply follow along as I read chapter 2 aloud to you.
Record any questions or thoughts you have regarding the content in your W column of your K-W-L page.
For the remainder of class read chapter 3 independently.
While you are reading consider the following questions:
 What traits help individuals or societies succeed where others fail?
To what extent are individuals responsible for their own choices and for the actions of the groups to which they belong?
 How does membership in a social structure bring responsibility?
Can art and literature be an effective form of protest?

6. Protest: defined
Noun: a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something, an organized public demonstration objecting to an official policy or course of action
Verb: express an objection to an action or remark, make an emphatic declaration or denial in response to doubt or accusation

7. Banksy and Street art
The arc of history bends towards justice. Protest art just speeds things along. Protest art afflicts the comfortable and comforts the afflicted.

8. The power of music
Divide a paper into two columns; listen and follow along to the lyrics of two songs.
In the left hand column record any power words or phrases that resonate with you or speak to the idea of protest.
Now, in the right hand column, work with someone next to you to come up with the main ideas and themes being conveyed by the song.
