Intro to Night Lesson Plan
Standard:
- 11-12.3: Analyze the impact of the author’s choices regarding how to develop and relate elements of a story or drama (where the story is set, how the action is ordered, how the characters are introduced and developed).
- 11-12.1: Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11-12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
Bell Ringer: Kahoot: “The Triangle” (Adapted from The Holocaust Museum Houston) Have students choose which role they would choose if they had to choose a role. Would it be a rescuer, a victim, a perpetrator, or a bystander? Look at the results after 30 seconds.
Discuss why people chose what they did. Share with students that about 10 percent of the German people chose to be perpetrators. Less than 5 percent chose to be rescuers. Most people chose the role of bystanders.
Activity:
- Ask: Why do you believe so few decided to be rescuers?
Go here for this if time. Compare what is shared. Discuss
- Have students read the very current (written Tuesday, November 17, 2015) INFORMATIONAL TEXT: Washington Post, “What Americans Thought of Jewish Refugees on the Eve of World War II”
The article has been assigned on Google Classroom. Students are to leave comments of 2-3 sentences each, answering this:
Read the following article. What do you think about the article? Do you agree with it? Disagree? Why? In the comments below, write at least 2-3 sentences explaining your view.
Closing: Over Thanksgiving Break, get a copy of NIGHT by Elie Wiesel
