Take out your discussion questions so I can stamp them.

And get out some paper—you’re going to write.

Brainstorm

• Think of a fight you had with a family member or close friend.

• A pretty significant fight.– Something that affected the way you interacted

with each other for some time afterward.

Write

• Write a journal/diary entry about this fight.– No one else is going to read it.– Seriously no one.– Say whatever you want. Get your emotions out.

Write

• Write a social media post about this fight.– Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Snapchat, Instagram…– You’re going to share this.• That’s kind of the point of social media, right?

– Be authentic; write something you’d actually post.

Write

• Write a news article about this fight.– You don’t have to share this unless you want to.– But write something that could conceivably be

published.– Do what reporters do: give us the facts.

Share

• Share your social media versions at your table.– And anything else if you want to…

• What tone does each person’s work convey?• What different effects do they have on you?

Reflect

• Look over the three things you’ve written:– How are they different from each other?– What’s the tone of each piece?– What’s the benefit of each format/tone?– Which of the three was easiest for you to write?

Which was most challenging?

Apply to Night

• How would you describe Elie Wiesel’s tone?• Flip through this first part of the book:– How often does he describe his feelings?– How does he describe his feelings?– How does he make you feel?

• Why do you think he wrote Night in this particular tone?– Psychoanalytic lens! :D

Student-Directed Discussion

• Share your question.• Discuss.• Pick a question or insight from your table that

you’d like to share with the class.

Homework

• Read to page 65 in Night.
