Thinkmarks and themes in Night

November 6, 2007 | | 1 Comment




Believe it or not, we’ve almost finished the book. For this blog article, I’d like you to write a two part entry. The first part looks back to what you’ve read and done during the past two chapters, and the second part looks back further to consider the themes you think are most important. That second part is meant to be a preparation for your final project, which you’ll begin in earnest next class.

Part 1

During chapters 5 & 6 you were tracking your thinking with a thinkmark. What I’d like to hear is a description of what you have been thinking as you read.

  1. Explain to an audience where your mind goes and what kinds of connections you are making while interacting with the book.
  2. Feel free to quote from your thinkmark and connect it specifically to the work.
  3. Make this part somewhere between 7 and 10 sentences long.

Part 2

For the second part, I want you to think again about themes. Feel free to examine the list of themes the class developed last time and consider which one is most intriguing to you. You do not have to consider the theme that is the most prominent – you can explore something more subtle if you’d like.

  1. For this blog article, tell us what theme you are most interested in exploring for your final project and why you’re leaning towards that theme.
  2. Then, also explain how that theme plays a role in the book.
  3. If you have a line that stands out to you as having to do with that theme, write it down in this blog article.
  4. This section of the article should be 5-7 sentences long.
