A Deeper Understanding

What people, places, events, pieces of data, etc is needed for someone to truly have a deep understanding of the time and place of the book Night as well as the overall book itself?

What are things about the Holocaust or the book that you want more information on?

Create a list for both of the questions and post it as a comment to this post.

Holocaust Background Knowledge

With a partner, you need to brainstorm all that you know about the Holocaust.  Think of the ideas of why, when, who, how, where, and what.  Your list should be a comment on this post with both of your names listed.

Contemporary Social Issues

What ideas from the book Of Mice and Men are still seen in society today? What issues are faced today that are mentioned in some way in the book? What issues are faced/experience/talked about/seen in the book that you could say people today still see/face/deal with/etc.?

Your group needs to post your list as a comment to this post and you should have at least five ideas down.  The more you have, the better, and the group with the best list gets candy.
