Holocaust Survivor Assembly

GET OUT PAPER AND PENCIL. WE WILL START WHEN THE BELL RINGS

I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the assembly today.

I want you to share some of the things you learned, so answer the following questions on a sheet of paper to hand in at the end of the period:
1. What did you  learn about the Holocaust that you didn't know before? (1 paragraph, 3-7 sentences)
2. What similarities (list 3) did you see between the stories in the book Night and his experiences?
         3 sentences minimum
3. When you are older,  you will be able to tell people, maybe even your own children, that you met a survivor of the Holocaust. No one from the next generation will ever have that privilege.  Write 2-4 sentences telling me what you will tell them. (What you have to say will most likely deal with a message people should learn, a message that will help them be better people).
HOMEWORK:
IF you didn't see Mr. Weiner's talk today, here it is on YouTube. Your assignment is to watch it and answer the three questions above. Yes, I know, this is a lot of homework. It is vitally important, however.

Read Fahrenheit 451 to page 45. Remember, you might want to read the Sparknotes summary first if you're having a tough time. Don't, however, read past the summary of the chapter
The Hearth and the Salamander. Here's the summary:
