8M-Read “The Night of the Pogrom” (p. 263) and “The Narrowing Circle” (p. 272) and answer the following question…
“What happened during Kristallnacht, and what was the long-term result?” You will need both readings to answer this question fully.
8D, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. AKA, no homework.
Your homework tonight is to take Book 6, Read Chapter 21 (determined soldiers) and write down what you think the five main ideas are.
In class, we will complete our prep for the mock trial, which will take place all period on Friday.
Do Not forget that you have your Enrichment essay ROUGH DRAFT due on Tuesday. You will be graded for making a serious effort to complete it, not on quality of writing. That comes later. You need to get this to me by then so that I can grade it when I am with the 8th graders in New York City.
FINALLY, there is an open-note Civil War quiz next Wednesday. The list of notes you need are:
1. Southern society (you know, that triangle with slaveowners on the top)
2. Causes of the war
3. Motivations for fighting
4. War Fever
5. Your opinion on “Who Freed the slaves” (This wasn’t notes, but you will be asked to back up your point of view with some facts.)
6. Sherman and Andersonville (you just need to know what Andersonville was, what Sherman did, and possibly an informed opinion on whether or not they constituted war crimes.)

Here is your homework:
8D-Read “The Night of the Pogrom” (p. 263) and “The Narrowing Circle” (p. 272) and answer the following question…
“What happened during Kristallnacht, and what was the long-term result?” You will need both readings to answer this question fully.
8M–Read your assigned Jigsaw reading and write down a 3-4 sentence summary. The readings are:
1. A substitute for religion (215)
2. Propaganda and Sports (221)
3. Art and Propaganda (223)
4. Using film as propaganda (225)
5. School for barbarians (228)
Hey 7th graders:
7G–Finish the poem response.
7S–I’ll give you the poem on Monday, and I will also take your notebook that day.
Hi kids,
Hope you enjoyed “Triumph of the Will.” Well, actually, no I don’t, but I do hope you now have a solid image of what the Nazi’s were attempting to do.
Your homework is the six summaries. The directions is to write down one complete sentence that summarizes the reading, and then two examples that back this up.
The readings are:
1. Legalizing Racism (167)
2. Turning Neighbor against Neighbor (171)
3. Killing Ideas (179)
4. Whenever Two or Three are Gathered (182)
5. A refusal to compromise (192)
6. Defining a Jew (201)
This will give us an idea of how Hitler and the Nazi’s consolidated power in their first years.
Good luck!
BRING YOUR BOOK TOMORROW.
With that said, tonight it is your job to read the Overview on page 154 and The Democrat and the Dictator on pg. 155. The question is “How did the Nazi’s excite the public in the first few days of power?”
More tomorrow.
BRING YOUR BOOK TOMORROW.
1. Finish your map-based class work.
2. Your Enrichment outline is due on WEDNESDAY in class.
3. You have a Binder check on Friday. I will only be checking for items from the last two months, meaning it is fine if you lost stuff from the Constitution, or even Lyddie paragraphs.
Bye.
Lessons so far:
1. Democracy is fragile–many people are willing to give it up for safety and prosperity, especially if it seems like the government cannot solve the problem.
2. Humans naturally identify themselves with labels, assign other people labels, group people into categories, and assign value to these groupings. (Such as: I am a Brookline teacher, Jamie Rinaldi is a Newton teacher, and they seem like they are lazy.)
Your homework for tonight:
1. Read “The In-Group” (pg. 29)–Why did Eve Shalen participate in mocking the unpopular girl if she herself was a victim of harassment?
2. Read “Power of Separation” (pg. 37)–How did the author overcome his racism?
Hey gang,
Tonight’s homework is to complete your map project and bring it in to class tomorrow. Since we are using these in groups, it is essential that you complete your homework.
Unless signed by the learning center, all late maps will be penalized 25% per day. This is harsh, but necessary for the class to go well.
Tonight’s homework is to read the following selections and answer the following questions:
1. Race and Science (pg. 13)–Do you think Susie Guillory Phipps’ anger at being considered “black” by the state of Louisiana was justified?
2. Stereotyping (pg. 16)–How can positive stereotypes have negative effects? (Positive stereotypes are ones in which positive values are attached to a group, i.e. “All kids with glasses are really smart!”)
Answer the questions in a short paragraph (four to five sentences) each.
You do NOT need to bring your book to class on Tuesday.
Now that we are done watching anti-communist pop-culture movies, we can get started on a more important unit.
Your homework is the three sources that I gave you in class today. Those need to be done by Friday.
You also received a book today, but you will not need it in class until at least next week. Keep posted here for “when you need your book” updates.
