Tuesday, Nov. 18 Agenda

•Bell Ringer: Read and react to the quote (half a page, in writer’s notebook)

•For many students, Night is their first exposure to Auschwitz…Night grabs the attention of students and never lets go until the end. Like Catcher in the Rye, it is a coming of age story. Like Antigone or Oedipus, it forces students to grapple with universal questions of good and evil. Like 1984 and Brave New World, it asks what kind of society do we live in, what kind of social system have we devised? And above all else, Night asks us to consider what it means to be human." — From Bearing Witness by Beth Aviv Greenbaum
