Night by Elie Wiesel, wrap up your book study, end of the book, end of the year

Are you looking for an interesting project to wrap up your book study? I assign this at the end of the semester instead of a final essay. This assignment will test your students’ writing and editing skills and reveal their ability to analyze Night's more nuanced and symbolic passages.

This assignment is perfect as an engaging and creative culminating activity! Students participate in the top three levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy: create, evaluate, and analyze.

This project requires students to think about the imagery and symbolism that are present in the book. Images from a book or movie poster are not allowed. Students are attempting to demonstrate the validity of their interpretation of the text on the slides. 

Students choose quotations from the novel that they want to create, evaluate, and analyze. CREATE: they create an image that represents the quotation. EVALUATE and ANALYZE: students explain the quotation and ask a follow-up question that is not easily answerable with a yes or no. 

INCLUDED IN THIS PRODUCT ARE THE FOLLOWING:

☑ TWO NIGHT TEMPLATES in Google Slides. 

☑ FIVE PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS for teachers.

☑ THREE PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS for students.

☑ A VIDEO INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE for students. This video shows how to create an assignment with the novel Life of Pi. I use this video to review the assignment even if I am using another novel as the ideas are the same.

☑ NINE GOOGLE SLIDES to share with your students.  THIS IS THE FILE STUDENTS WORK IN. I ask my students to do three slides for 12 images and 12 text boxes without philosophy and eight images and eight text boxes with philosophy. So the template is copied and pasted twice so you can decide how many slides to send to your students. See the next page for more details. The instructions are editable. Remove any slides you do not wish to use before you assign the project to your students.

☑ AN EXAMPLE OF A TEXT BOX AND IMAGE WITHOUT PHILOSOPHY. (NIGHT)

☑ AN EXAMPLE OF A TEXT BOX AND IMAGE WITH PHILOSOPHY. (FAHRENHEIT 451)

☑ One page with information about my products.
