Language Arts 5-2-14

Today we created an entry in our Purple Journal entitled "Quotes" from our novel.
   for Yale & Harvard it was two-sided -- one side labeled German Youth, the other German Jewish girl.
We completed one quote together for the German Youth using ellipsis.  Students are to add illuminating lines from their story as they continue reading so that when we are finished they can create a "Found Poem."

We recorded and discussed key vocabulary from our unit including:  discrimination, prejudice, NAZIs, identity, Media, etc.  (get notes from a fellow classmate or stay after to record from powerpoint).

Princeton continued page by page to tell the story of Elie Wiesel.

Harvard's teams continued to work on posters showing how Hitler gained power.
