Chapter 4

Today I checked to make sure you had your rough drafts of your research paper done. For those of who you have formatting issues, as we said last week, you have a week to get those fixed. Do not come in on Monday with the final draft of your research paper with all those errors because you will automatically start off with an 80.

Also, for those of you who didn't do it at all, now's the time to get it done. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll be peer reviewing so if you don't have your rough draft of your research paper done, you will not be able to participate and get feedback from your peers on how to make your paper better. Likewise, if you don't bring in your rough draft, you will be hard-pressed to have Mr. Hannah or I to help you as we'll be busy assisting the students who actually did their work. Bottom line: get this done.

The powerpoint we went over today in class based on Chapter 4 of Night is up on Schoology under the Night folder. If you have any questions on it, please feel free to email me or Mr. Hannah.

Also, I know the documentary we watched today may have been graphic, but it's important to see some of these first-hand account footage of the Holocaust in order for us to fully understand. Because we live in such a digital age, sometimes we never really understand something or feel something until we actually see it first-hand. I know some parts may have been difficult to watch, but it's important that we are aware of the truth of what actually happened during this time period.
