2.13.17+and+2.14.17

Forcasting information: 5th and 6th

Work on Timeline assignment we started last class. Here are the requirements:

With a partner, create a visual map/timeline of events in Wiesel’s memoir. Begin in 1941, when Elie first meets Moishe the Beadle, and leave room to go all the way through April of 1945, when Elie is finally liberated from the camps. If you want to include any drawings or sketches, you may, but I’m primarily looking for descriptions of important events in Elie’s life.

Use three different colored pens / pencils to write in significant events in these three different “journeys”: > >
 * his literal journey from Sighet, Transylvania to Auschwitz to Buchenwald – from a free member of a Jewish community to an imprisoned number
 * the metaphoric journey of his faith – identify moments when it grows and when it’s challenged
 * the metaphoric journey of his relationship with his father – identify moments when they grow closer and when he feels distant
