Thursday, May 22

We have had a lot of absences lately–take care of yourselves! Get good sleep, drink lots of water, wash your hands often…

Also, if you miss school, you are responsible for figuring out classwork and homework you missed, and turning everything in as soon as possible. Talk to me if this applies to you and you have questions.

***

Due Friday, May 23

1. Read Night pages 23-46 and answer questions on handout in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Remember to track your thinking as you read using sticky notes or by taking notes.

2. Begin your response to Frances Irwin–a letter, poem, or drawing/visual. How did Frances’s story affect you? What parts of her experience were most striking or difficult for you, or most inspirational and touching? What will you do now that you know this story, now that you are a messenger? How do you feel about Frances’s choice to bear witness?

Remember that school is dismissed at 1pm Friday 5/23 and that there is no school Monday 5/26 in honor of Memorial Day!
