Night+Journal

**Keeping a Journal for the novel //Night//**
As we read the novel //Night// by Elie Weisel, I would like you to keep a journal of your observations, questions, and thoughts.

The journal, which is to be created using the Pages application on your laptop, is to be divided into 9 entries, each representing a "chapter" of the novel (even though the chapters are not numbered). I would then like each entry to be subdivided into the following categories:

A. Objective Observations (basically what happens, and reported without any personal or subjective comments) B. Your Personal Reaction (what you feel about what has happened in that particular chapter) C. Question for the Author (at least 1 question you would like to ask the author regarding what he has just described in that chapter) D. Research Questions (a list of the things you do not know, including names, words, phrases, etc.)

We will review a rubric for the Journal later on in class. The Journal will be collected when we do our Socratic Seminar at least a week after our return from Spring Break. __However, I do want Block 1B to complete their first entry in class on Tuesday March 9__. (Block 4A will do theirs later in the week.)

Therefore, Block 1B's assignment on Tuesday March 9 is to read the first chapter of the novel and create Journal Entry #1. They are required to copy and paste the first entry in an email to me at michael.sheehan@saschina.org.
