Night by Elie Wiesel
A 11th Grade Unit
Final Unit Projects
For the student's final unit projects they will be able to choose one of the following:
1. The students will use one of these programs to explore the theme of Faith in Night. They will be asked to display moments in the text that involve Faith and how it affects the characters in the novel. Then they will have to present their project to the class (2-3 Minutes). The students will be asked to show page numbers and have images that engage the audience.
Power Point: Many students are comfortable with this program, and if you'd like to create a collage, the slides act as nice canvases for pasting pictures
Movie Maker: A few of you have used this, and it comes installed with Windows for PCs (which means we have it at school). If you're a Mac user, try iMovie. You might use this program to make an emotional slideshow with audio, or you might make your own movie, staring you and your friends.
Audacity: If you're going to attempt anything more complex with audio, you may want to use this audio editor/recorder. I can supply you with a microphone. We also have this program on the school's computers.
PhotoStory - this is a Microsoft program that puts together attractive slide shows. You'll need to download it, but that's okay.
Picnik.com: Edit your photos with an easy web editor
CCMixter.org: an online resource of music you are allowed to use.
Here is the Rubris for Final Project Option Two. This Rubric is for the presentations only. The project sentences will be graded based on accuracy and thorough detailed descriptions.
2. The students will write a paper that addresses the theme of the novel: Faith. The students will need to dig through Night and find 10 lines in the text that express that theme. Once the students have found those lines they will need to do two things with them. The first thing they will do is type the lines onto a document and write small paragraphs (3-5 full sentences) explaining how that line shows the theme they have identified in those sentences. Then they will have to find 5 images that could be used to describe scenes in the novel. Each image should have a 2-3 sentence explanation on how those images interact with the novel. Then the students will have to present their images along with the lines they choose from the text to the class in a 3-5 minute presentation.
