Learning Objectives:

• How do I research a Holocaust victim and prepare a narrative that captures his or her story?
• How do I apply an understanding of active and passive voice, by using voice in my narrative?

Opening:

1. Yesterday you were asked to write a draft of a narrative.  

• Class Notebook or Online in SBD 
• 4/13: "Narrative Writing Prompt"

Did you:

• Incorporate elements of a narrative?
• Focus on capturing the voice of the victim?
• Read the narrative back to yourself aloud so that it "sounds right"?

Work Period:
2. Login to 3.8

3. Review your manuscript and mark up your text so that you consider the following key points about oral reading.

4. When you are ready, go to a place that is comfortable with your Literature Circle Group.

• Take one or two laptops so that you can view the rubric.
• On loose-leaf paper, create one "report" about each reader.  
• Give each reader a grade (70, 80, 90, 100) and write a little summary of their strengths (proficient) and areas of improvement (emerging).

Closing:

• CN: 4/14: Narrative Reflection
• How did the creation of your narrative, and reading it aloud to your peers add to your understanding of the Holocaust?
