9.5 Homework for the Weekend

mrkeenan — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:50:22 +0000

Hello everyone,

I felt I should formalize the expectations for the homework that was given in class today. Here is what I am expecting for Monday:

list 3 different true stories you could tell for the narrative essay assignment.
for each story, describe the meaning that this story would have, and what it would highlight about your life.
Choose one of the summaries to share in class on Monday, it does not have to be the best one, or the one you are going to choose, but you should be able to discuss what the meaning is that it has.
Be prepared to hand in your work.

30-2 Introduction to Night (Adolf Eichmann)

mrkeenan — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:13:37 +0000

Today we completed a historical character study based on Adolph Eichmann. Adolph was a ranking official in Germany under Adolf Hitler, and was responsible for dealing with the ‘Jewish problem.’ Students were asked to review the biographies and information available on Eichmann in class, and then take the events, source documents and decisions Eichmann made to create a character sketch of what type of personality he may have had. After the research was complete, we had a discussion about Eichmann, giving us some context of one of the key individuals of the Holocaust.
