English 2

Today in class, students turned in their notesheets for chapters 2 and 3 of Night. After discussing the new developments in the book, including Elie Wiesel being separated from his mother and sister, and Elie and his father being sent from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Buna, students finished the second half of the film Into the Arms of Strangers. In this film, students learned about the Kindertransport that saved 10,000 children during the holocaust, but sadly left most of those kids orphans after the war. Next week, students will begin reading the biographies of their Butterfly Children. We also have a guest speaker coming next Wednesday to give a presentation on the holocaust.

Participation Question

Homework

• Read chapter 4 of Night and complete chapter 4 notesheet
