English 2

Today in class, students discussed both chapter 4 of Night and the film Into the Arms of Strangers which they viewed last week. In class students also began reading chapter 5 of Night during which we learn that critical selections at Buna threaten to drastically alter Elie's life (or what is left of it in the concentration camp). After reading, students received the assignment sheet and chose a topic for the research paper they will begin working on later in the week. In order to prepare for this project, students participated in a "paraphrasing practice" activity that will aid them in both the researching and the writing aspects of the upcoming task. We finished class by hearing a couple biographies of our "butterfly children". Thankfully, none of the stories we heard today ended in death.
