Night Essay

Good Morning!
Please get your assigned netbook when you arrive. 

1. Independent Reading -- The grading period ends May 6.  Book reviews will be due on May 3rd. I will give you time on that day to get them properly posted on Goodreads.  On Monday you will be completing the parts of the book review that are described on the rubric that I have been asking you to follow.  You will receive a handout to complete and have available on Tuesday to put on Goodreads.

2.  Tomorrow you will see a biography of Anne Frank.  Before we leave our study of Night and the holocaust, it is appropriate to learn about Anne Frank especially because many of you have not read her diary.

3.  Today we will do peer editing. Please have a partner read your essay.  Please be attentive to mechanical errors and content. There should be quoted lines from Night which are properly cited.

2.  Essay on Night -- continue composing your essay on Night.  Be sure to include quoted evidence from the text and parenthetically include the page number.

        In several places in Night, Wiesel expresses his deteriorating 
        faith in God.  It begins at Birkenau when Wiesel fears that he
       and his father will be consumed in flames: "For the first time, 
       I felt revolt rise up in me.  Why should I bless His name? The
       Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, 
       was silent.  What had I to thank Him for?" (31) 

Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should appear after the parenthetical citation. Question marks and exclamation points should appear within the quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted passage but after the parenthetical citation if they are a part of your text.Nov 18, 2014
