Dear Families,

Traditionally, I do not offer extra credit but there is an new movie coming out that will coincide with our next article in the Junior Scholastic, "The Night of the Broken Glass". One of my academic specialties is the literature and history about The Holocaust. In the past I have been a Belfer scholar at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museuem, involved in Facing History ( a group devoted to making difficult topics in history easier and engaging to learn about)as a student, and my CAGS capstone was all about creating an eighth grade elective about this sensitive, yet critically important topic.

With the release of the movie version of The Book Thief, I am offering extra credit to any student who goes to the movie AND writes a reflection to the following questions (one page only, please) will get an extra credit grade:

Reflection questions:

1. What do you think The Book Thief author Markus Zusak meant when he said, "Hitler cultivated the thoughts of a nation with words"?

2. Which character from the movie did you relate to the most and why? Would you make the same choice(s) the character made? Why or why not?

I will accept this reflection, along with a parent signature on the page (I do this as the movie rating is PG13) until January 6, 2014.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

GRAPES packet and double sided essential investigative question sheet.  These are due, along with 3-5 images for your group poster project by Friday 11/22.  We will begin working on the posters on Friday.  Remember your group will need a paragraph, acrostic poem, images/illustrations
