Night is the heart wrenching first hand account of Elie Wiesel's internment in the Auschwitz Camp during the Holocaust. In order to truly lead into the novel, it is important to impress upon students that Elie Wiesel spent his life devoted to reversing racism around the globe. Reading his Nobel Prize Acceptance speech will do just that. To accommodate scaffolding, I have included one version that caters to teaching persuasion and rhetorical analysis and a second that asks questions pertaining to

Autobiography- Lady Bird Johnson - JFK Assassination - Point of View - Tone Mood
I am a strong believer that all texts must have meaningful content. Student's today are so immersed in their technology that history fades into the past. They don't have any interest in seeking it out so as teachers, we need to ensure they read it anywhere and everywhere. That is where this memoir from Lady Bird Johnson's A White House Diary - Excerpt comes in. The colorful language and meaningful writing brings the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination to life from a new perspective. It is the
