Tonight for homework there are a few things for you to do concerning our new unit - Night by Elie Wiesel. First, I would like for you to read chapter one of the text in preparation for next class. Chapter one in the "blue books" will take you until approximately page fourteen. Pay special attention to the creation of VOICE in the piece as well as TONE. Tone will be especially important here because it is a memoir, thus the tone is actually what Wiesel is himself feeling.
In addition, I gave out the rubrics today for your final drafts. We will go over formatting and citations in class on Thursday, so come prepared to ask questions. I would recommend bringing your drafts too. These papers will likely be collected from you on Monday to give me the time to finish reading my AP students' papers first.
Make sure as well that you complete the viewing guide for Die Welle and that your answers are thorough and complete. I'll check these on Thursday for a grade. I hope you all enjoyed the film.

I would recommend answering the questions based on what we were able to read today in class. I also would suggest continuing to read Night at your own pace.
Field Trip Reminders:
- Be to school by 5:20 at the latest. We will be departing at 5:30 on the dot. If you are late you will be left.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, jeans, a t-shirt and a light jacket. I'd also recommend bringing a towel or a blanket to sit on if we have class outside.
- Bring about twenty dollars for food. We will go to restaurants in DC for lunch and stop in Virginia on the way home for dinner. There is a gift shop at the museum if you'd like souvenirs.
- Bring snacks for the bus, but remember that you will need to be neat and clean on the bus.
- You'll need your copy of Night as we will be doing some study of the book. Bring something to write with as well. I'll provide you a notebook to record your observations during the trip.
