At the beginning of class today, everyone responded to the following prompt:
What are two themes that you see as important in our discussions of WWII/The Holocaust.
To make sense of this prompt, we talked a bit about what theme is (the "big idea" in a piece / what it's really all about beyond what the plot is).
Next, I handed out the writing piece that we will be using to bring our learning on WWII and The Holocaust together.
Handout:
WWII/The Holocaust Theme Writing
Everyone had the rest of the period to identify three (instead of four) themes in all of the pieces we have studied so far and then to start working on the essay.
Homework:
Finish writing the essay started today in class.
