Aim: How do we analyze the developing theme of faith in Night? Journal Prompt #7:Faith
What does the word faith mean to you? What causes it? What is its effect? What happens when you don't have any? What about when you have too much? What does it look like? Draw something that shows this if you can.
We are beginning to dive deeper into the concept of faith and how this theme is developing in the memoir Night.
Today we begin reading reciprocally on page 66. As we read, mark with post-its any words, phrases, or sentences that you believe are significantly related to the theme of faith.
After the reading, choose one of these words, phrases or sentences to read out loud in a whip around. No worries if your choice was already read by another.
We will do this again a second time, although this time it will be random order and you should read your words either in the way you think Elie Wiesel wanted it read or the way you think it should be read.
Before you leave today, chart your words and complete the final reflection, writing at least one well-organized paragraph responding to this question: Is the loss of faith a sign of weakness? Why or why not? This reflection should be completed for homework if not completed in class.
