The pdf that I am marking up in class Requirements for the Night unit Common Core Standards addressed in NightAn International Tribute to Elie Wiesel: A Community Reading of Night NIGHT by Elie Wiesel: 2016 Grades (so far) for this unit:
We will read the first 72 pages or so together to study in depth.
What do you highlight in your book? You should write or highlight something on EVERY PAGE.
These help you understand the progression of the story: · Geographic locations · New people introduced · Holocaust horrors · Sense of Jewish community · Changes in his health · State of his Jewish faith and in God · Selections and judgments · Images o Metaphors o Similes o Personification o Pictures in your head · Religious allusions (Biblical)
These will help you to address the requirements of the Common Core Standards: · Lines of dialogue that propel the action forward · Incidents that propel the action forward · Lines of dialogue that reveal something about the character · Meaningful events and what they reveal about the character · Lines of dialogue that provoke a decision · Incidents that provoke a decision All of these are used by the writer to convey the themes of the book.
These are other things you can write in your book to dialogue with the text as you read: · Questions about what is happening · Predictions about what will happen · Connections you make to other texts · Keywords so you can remember what that page was about |
