Tuesday, 22 February

In class today we briefly discussed how the story "The Things They Carried" connects with our study of Night.

Students received the following assignment which is due on Friday.


There is another homework assignment that is due on Monday. This assignment is called "The Millions Project."

What is a million? A million is a huge number. It is hard to imagine the enormity of the Armenian Genocide or The Holocaust because it is hard for us to conceptualize the number one million. 11-12 Million humans were murdered / exterminated / killed by the Nazi's. Six million were Jewish people; six million were Romani, homosexuals, Chatholics, unionists, and people with disabilities.

What can you make to help others understand what a million is? Bring your project to class on Monday.
