Aim: How do we evaluate what we learned from reading Night?Journal Prompt #18: Survival
In his preface, Elie Wiesel wrote, "I don't know how I survived; I was weak, rather shy; I did nothing to save myself."
How do you believe he survived?
Elie Wiesel speaks for countless survivors. In this short video (click here) Wiesel says he comes from a "mystical background" that "beautifies language though silence." Remember power tableaus? In your groups, create a power tableau illustrating a short scene from Night.
