Ideally students will have an overall greater respect/understanding for the impact of the
Holocaust and a greater sense of acceptance. Students, who could personally relate to the
Holocaust or other issues discussed along with the novel, can share insights with the rest of the
class that could help unknowing students gain an insight to the Holocaust.
Teaching Objectives:
The novel is a well-written, descriptive recollection that allows an introverted look to the
truths of how Nazi concentration camps were run. Although the material is descriptive and
sometimes hard to handle, it is a truthful recollection of history that students should study and
understand.
Insight to the Holocaust: Students will gain an overall understanding of the history of the
Holocaust and how it impacted many Jewish lives today through the reading of the novel and
classroom activities. As well, students will research their individual topic areas further while
researching for their individual unit paper. Some assessment on the overall knowledge of the
history will be shown through class discussion/engagement, small quizzes/exit slips, or included
on the comprehensive test covering the novel Night.
Critical Reading: Students will gain critical reading experience by engaging in small and large
group reading. Worksheets, journaling, discussion topics and hands-on coinciding activities with
the novel will help students gain a fuller comprehension for the novel and strengthen individual
reading skills.
Composition Experience/Practice: Students will compose descriptive and expository writing to
show their understanding of the novel and multiple forms of composition. Journaling will allow
students to explore their thoughts and understanding of the novel and should not be graded but
