Night: Pre-Discussion Blog

Before our literary discussion, please post a comment in which you highlight something about Night that strikes you, some topic that really interests you. Here are a few examplse:
1. The connection between language and meaning.
2. The imagery related to nighttime.
3. Fear.
4. Wiesel's crisis of faith.

Then, for the topic you chose, please write a paragraph or so. In this paragraph, explore your thoughts related to the topic and reference several times in the book where your topic surfaces. If you wish, you can briefly analyze a line or two, as well. Finally, pose at least one question.

We will use these posts to dive headfirst into our discussion!

Cheers,
Mrs. Harding

A Raisin in the Sun

Greetings,

As you read, please be sure to post a comment at least three times. These comments should discuss an aspect of the play that you are particularly interested in. Write about a question you have, a problem that bothers you, a character who annoys you, what you admire about another character, how you relate to the story, what you think it (the story, a passage, a character) means, etc. This is a time for you to write about and explore parts of the story that most excite or perturb you.

Do...cite the text and use quotes, details, etc.
Do...feel free to agree or disagree with a reflection one of your peers makes.
Do...take risks and be creative with your thinking.

Again, as we read A Raisin in the Sun, you should post three times! Think of this as an online, extended literary discussion.

Cheers,
Mrs. Harding
