Reading Journal Check-off: As we checked-off journals, everyone work on:


 * 1) With a partner, go back through Ch. 1-3. Make a list of the ten most important events from the three chapters and put them in chronological order. Include page numbers to help with your references.


 * 1) With your partner, list three ways that Elie has changed from the start of the novel, and find a quote for each that supports this.


 * 1) With your partner, search for at least five words from the text that are new vocabulary for you. Avoid proper nouns here (names, places, etc.). Define each word, and then, to practice using them, create a short paragraph where you utilize them all in some way. This could be about anything (as long as it’s appropriate). Challenge: Use them all in one sentence that still makes sense. Be creative and learn some new words.

All class: Read Ch. 4 and discuss. We made it through pg. 51. Some points of discussion: --animalistic diction to describe those in power in the camps --Elie's changing definitions of "good" and "lucky" --Uniformity and lack of individualism (marching, etc.) --Moments of humanity vs. moments of inhumanity (gold tooth, brothers who "live for each other") --Objectification: rags, calling him by a number

HW: Finish reading Ch. 4 and complete a full reading journal entry for it (1 motif quote with analysis, 1 character change quote with analysis, one theme). This should be in the same format as the first one.
