homework and final info june 12, day 5

Class One: finish reading "Night," pages 63-80. then answer questions 22-26.

Classes Two, Five, and Six bring the texts "Hans Schmitt," and "A Spring Morning" to class for group work. One of these texts will be on the final exam as the Retelling.

Also on the final will be one of two RAFTs. I will decide which RAFT will be on the final the test itself. Here are your options: ROLE: you will be either Prince Escalus or Romeo.
AUDIENCE: if you are the Prince, your AUDIENCE can be either
Lord Montague or Lord Capulet.
FORMAT: a lecture on good citizenship after the Prince has
broken the first brawl between the Montagues and the
Capulets in Act I, scene 1.
TOPIC: what the Prince expects, wants, needs from these two
rich and powerful citizens.

There will be a multiple paragraph essay. You must choose either of the following topics:

Topic #1: Explain not only why the Holocaust happened, but also why it progressed unchecked for so long.

Topic #2: The Nazis systematically dehumanized the deportees destined for concentration camps both before and during incarceration. In a well-developed, multiple paragraph essay describe how and why the Nazis the Jews and others.

REMEMBER: YOU ARE ARE TO BRING "HANS SCHMITT" AND "SPRING MORNING" ALL MARKED UP. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BRING THE RAFT RUBRIC WITH WITH NOTES. YOU MUST BRING YOUR BRAINSTORMING NOTES AND A ROUGH/FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR ESSAY TO THE FINAL.

YOU CANNOT, HOWEVER, BRING A FINAL DRAFT OF ANY KIND TO THE FINAL. BRINGING A FINAL DRAFT TO THE EXAM WILL RESULT IN A ZERO FOR THAT QUESTION.
