4. ‘The Kingdom of Night’: Lessons from the Past Colorado Academic Standards: 2. Reading for All Purposes & 3. Writing & Composition MYPH Criterion: A. Analyzing&B. Organizing Objectives: You will be able to perform a close reading of the memoir Night by ElieWiesel in order to examine the use of symbolism and its impact on the meaning of the work as a whole Guiding Questions: • What value is there in studying the horrors and dysfunctions of the past? • How can story-telling affect the world? • What is the purpose and effect of symbols (and motifs)? How do symbols and motifs create and deepen understanding and contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole? Enduring Understanding: • Literature is often a chronicle of man’s capacity for inhumanity and dysfunction, but it is also a reminder of the power of the human spirit to triumph over the past. In that sense, literature has been essential to the march of human progress. • Narrative/story-telling deepens our understanding of history by giving us an intimate, personal understanding of the experiences of others in times past.

5. Activity: Develop Purpose:you will be able to make inferences in writing about the meaning conveyed by symbols in the first two chapters of Night. Tasks: Symbols in Real Life - Connecting back Share what you've written (the thing you wrote about as having symbolic significance in your life) Outcome: Many aspects or elements of real life come to represent meaningful things beyond their literal reality. We tend to talk about "symbols" as if they were created to be symbols. But in real life as well as in good literature, elements that are real or realistic within a story come to represent larger, deeper meanings. That's the way I want you to think about symbolism as we read Night—realistic elements that actually are part of the true story and experience of the Holocaust, but which come to represent deeper truths and understandings that are important to humankind.

6. Activity: Develop Purpose:you will be able to note literal details and make inferences in writing about the first chapter of Night. Tasks: Establishing a purpose (a lens) for our reading • Take a look at the Glossary Commonly Asked Questions https://www.ushmm.org/educators/teaching-about-the-holocaust/common-questions#answer%204 • Chapter 1 of Night • Preview the questions • Let’s read aloud • Respond in writing to the questions for Chapter 1 • Why does Wiesel start the memoir with Moishe the Beadle? What is Moishe's significance—to Elie, and to the larger story? • Wiesel takes great pains to describe his faith and his interest in the Kabballah (the book of Jewish mystical beliefs) as a young man before the Holocaust. Why do you think he includes this characterization so early in the memoir? • How do the Jews of Sighet respond to the warning signs, dangers, and stages of what is happening? Make a list of the stages in which the tragedy befalls the characters in the first chapter. How can you understand the ways they ignore or rationalize the approaching danger? • Another key character in the opening chapter is Elie's father. What kind of person is Elie's father? How does Wiesel's portrayal of Elie's father affect you as a reader? HW:Finish reading the first chapter and answering the questions for it.​ • Charting and thinking: Wiesel's use of Moishe the Beadle, night, and fire • We will discuss the cattle car as a symbol this week, too, so be thinking about this.

23. Activity: Obtain • Connecting back to guiding question:  Remember that one of the guiding questions for the Night unit is:What value is there in studying the horrors and atrocities of the past?Why should we subject ourselves to the horrors of the past? • You should have read ch.3, chronicling Elie's first night in Auschwitz. The chapter contains many moving, haunting scenes choose the one that stands out for you, and explain to your partners 1) Why you chose that particular scene, and 2) the effect it had on your understandings and feelings. Take turns going around the circle.Instruction_Writing about symbolic elements: When writing about realistic elements of a story that have symbolic significance, we need to go beyond simply stating what we feel the element represents in a larger sense. We need to explain and analyze how that element works symbolically, and elaborate on the larger theme or purpose in a that it helps to develop and the effect it has on the readers understandings and feelings. (See Handout) • Formative assessment: Choose one of the following element from the opening chapters of night and analyzing what the element comes to represent and the effects it has on the reader.Elements to choose from: • Moishe the Beadle • Fire • Cattle cars • NightProcess: First, gather evidence about the use of the element. They begin forming your main ideas about what that element comes to represent and how it effects the reader's understandings and feelings. Once you start writing, remember the strategy we've used all year: • IDENTIFTY • EXEMPLIFY • EXPLAIN • ELABORATE(SEE HANDOUT)
