Finishing Night

• The class period was lead primarily by the Daily Night Power Point.  Please see the attachment for more lesson details.
• The students responded to the 'Finishing Night' journal prompt (which was actually a guided visualization activity).
• We then finished listening to Night, pages 93-109
• During this time, the students worked on their final Graffiti Journal for Section 6-9 (pages 81-109)
• After the book was over, the students responded to several more writing prompts that were added to the 'Finishing Night' journal.
• The students then listened to Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, and completed one more journal entry for the day called 'I have...'
• I then took some time reviewing the assignment details for the final presentation (periods 5 & 7 also signed up for their final presentation date-I will post the dates on the next blog entry).
• I also passed back several assignment/papers.
• Finally, I help students begin to organize the Night Scrapbook.
• Homework:  Finish the Section 6-9 Graffiti Journal with Three Quote Responses, you also need to find THREE additional quotes for pages 99-109 and complete responses for each.  Remember to sign up for the Research Paper rewrite.  Suggested: Write the One-page Summary for the OR Log.
• During tutorial I presented a lesson on preparing the Final Presentation.  The lesson included a point point about Hints, Tips & Tricks for creating an Effective Power Point Presentation.
