Holocaust+Research+Assignment

Below are a series of tasks (5 altogether: 2 mandatory and 3 of your choosing). In order for you to respond to these tasks, you must conduct research. When completing each, you must first compose ** a work cited entry ** for the source you found, then ** your response to the task **. Your final product will be a series of work cited entries, each followed by your response. Though all of this research can be conducted on-line, I demand you to have at least ** one library book **(circulatory or reference),** OR ** ** one article from the library’s databases **(Proquest, Opposing Viewpoints, etc.). As for which task you choose to use this type of source, that is completely up to you. ** All students must complete these first 2 tasks:  ** ** 1)  ** We’re reading // Night, // which serves as Elie Wiesel’s firsthand account of his experience of the Holocaust. I want you to find another piece of ** testimony from a survivor of the Holocaust. ** If the testimony is only a few pages, read all of it. If it is of great length, you are welcome to read only a portion of it (2 or more pages). ** Quote 2 moments from the passage. Write a 3 to 4 sentence reaction to each quotation. In your reaction, you can express shock, sympathy, curiosity, disgust, or a number of other emotions so long as it is underscored by respect.  **   2) ** Find one work of Fiction inspired by the Holocaust. Paraphrase what this work is about by discussing its characters and events. **Your source for this could be the work itself, found in our lovely library, or an article or webpage about the work.
