What It Means To Be A Witness
Before reading the novel Night, students need to understand what it means to speak as a witness. In this blog you will need to write about an event you “witnessed” in person. You might choose an incident as immediate as walking by a homeless person sleeping in a doorway or a car accident that takes place right in front of you. You can even describe how you experienced the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 as you “witnessed” this tragedy on T.V. Begin your blog with “It’s important to remember…” or “I saw it with my own eyes.” Remember how descriptive you were with the vignette; think action verbs, figurative language, and imagery. Don’t forget to proofread!
