Take out your discussion questions so I can stamp them.
And get out some paper—you’re going to write.
Brainstorm
• Think of a fight you had with a family member or close friend.
• A pretty significant fight.– Something that affected the way you interacted
with each other for some time afterward.
Write
• Write a journal/diary entry about this fight.– No one else is going to read it.– Seriously no one.– Say whatever you want. Get your emotions out.
Write
• Write a social media post about this fight.– Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Snapchat, Instagram…– You’re going to share this.• That’s kind of the point of social media, right?
– Be authentic; write something you’d actually post.
Write
• Write a news article about this fight.– You don’t have to share this unless you want to.– But write something that could conceivably be
published.– Do what reporters do: give us the facts.
Share
• Share your social media versions at your table.– And anything else if you want to…
• What tone does each person’s work convey?• What different effects do they have on you?
Reflect
• Look over the three things you’ve written:– How are they different from each other?– What’s the tone of each piece?– What’s the benefit of each format/tone?– Which of the three was easiest for you to write?
Which was most challenging?
Apply to Night
• How would you describe Elie Wiesel’s tone?• Flip through this first part of the book:– How often does he describe his feelings?– How does he describe his feelings?– How does he make you feel?
• Why do you think he wrote Night in this particular tone?– Psychoanalytic lens! :D
Student-Directed Discussion
• Share your question.• Discuss.• Pick a question or insight from your table that
you’d like to share with the class.
Homework
• Read to page 65 in Night.
