You will have to analyze causes of the event as well as the impact.
Can I collage images? One image per slide is recommended for greatest
impact.
Can I do more than one web-quest for extra mile? Yes. I am open to generating NEW topics in the area of
contemporary role models in the fight for social justice
Web-Quest Q&A Can we cut and paste facts?
Yes, but cite your source on the last slide (even for images).
No, do NOT cut and paste big paragraphs. DO emphasize facts with bulleted information.
What happens if we don’t cite sources? Epic failure and public humiliation will result from
plagiarism. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ will

Homework:
1. Web-quest due 1/28-30
Select One Prompt (first 2 on unit overview)
Refer to your research on the historical, political, or social context of Night. Focus on symbols, motifs and figurative language that paint a historically or culturally-specific image. What do the symbols, motifs, and figurative language reveal about the author’s attitude toward the Holocaust? How does the author use the resources of language to convince the reader his/her attitude is justified?
Many works of literature explore the concept of what it means to be fully human and how a person or a group of people can be effectively dehumanized by others. In a well-organized essay, explore what Elie Wiesel’s narrative says about what is involved in de-humanizing another person/group and whether or not “re-humanization” is possible. You may need to research the author’s life and most recent activities to answer this question with solid evidence. Bonus points for going the extra mile to connect your insight from Night to I. Beah’s Long Way Gone.
