Option 3:

Like most homes in this part of Japan, the house consisted of a wooden frame and wooden walls supporting a heavy tile roof. Its front hall, packed with rolls of bedding and clothing, looked like a cool cave full of fat cushions. Opposite the house… there was a large, … rock garden. There was no sound of planes. The morning was still; the place was cool and pleasant.

Then a tremendous flash of light cut across the sky… it travelled from east to west, from the city toward the hills. It seemed a sheet of sun. Both he (Mr. Tanimoto) and Mr. Matsuo reacted in terror… Mr. Matsuo…dived among the bedrolls and buried himself there. Mr. Tanimoto …threw himself between two big rocks in the garden…As his face was against the stone, he did not see what happened. He felt a sudden pressure, and then splinters and pieces of board and fragments of tile fell on him. He heard no roar. (Almost no one in Hiroshima recalls hearing any noise of the bomb…)

Task:  Write a brief summary (2-3 sentences) of the reading above.  Be specific when describing and use details.  To make your job easier, pretend that you are talking to someone who has never heard about what you read and learned today.

Option 3:

AFTERMATH & LASTING IMPACT OF THE HOLOCAUST

The wounds of the Holocaust–known in Hebrew as Shoah, or catastrophe–were slow to heal. Survivors of the camps found it nearly impossible to return home, as in many cases they had lost their families and been denounced by their non-Jewish neighbors. As a result, the late 1940s saw an unprecedented number of refugees, POWs and other displaced populations moving across Europe. In an effort to punish the villains of the Holocaust, the Allies held the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-46, which brought Nazi atrocities to horrifying light. Increasing pressure on the Allied powers to create a homeland for Jewish survivors of the Holocaust would lead to a mandate for the creation of Israel in 1948.

Over the decades that followed, ordinary Germans struggled with the Holocaust’s bitter legacy, as survivors and the families of victims sought restitution of wealth and property confiscated during the Nazi years. Beginning in 1953, the German government made payments to individual Jews and to the Jewish people as a way of acknowledging the German people’s responsibility for the crimes committed in their name.

Task: Respond to this question In one paragraph 4-6 setences: Aftermath means the impact. Lasting impact is a long lasting consequence.

Homework:

Dear: Parents/guardians. Monday we introduce February’s novel, Hiroshima, by John Hershey. We will discuss how Hiroshima and the novel Night connect to each other, as both relate to World War II and the theme of survival. The overall theme this month is Time, Continuity and Change.  In addition to studying the novel Hiroshima, we will be learning a lot about Japanese culture, history, and about present day life.

Option 3:

*On August 6, 1945, the American army decimates the city of Hiroshima with a bomb of enormous power; out of a population of 250,000, the bomb kills nearly 100,000 people and injures 100,000 more… Hersey’s Hiroshima traces the lives of six survivors—two doctors, two women, and two religious men—from the moment the bomb drops until a few months later. In 1985, Hersey added a postscript that now forms the book’s fifth chapter. In this chapter, Hersey reexamines these six individuals’ lives in the forty years since the bomb.

Make a prediction:  Based on what you know about the novel Night and the passage above, take an educated guess about what the novel Hiroshima will be about.

Homework: Dear parent/guardian, please assist your child with today’s homework.

Topic: We have been learning a lot about propaganda during World War 2, advertisement and fake news.  This passage is about how to identify fake stories and checking to see if they are true.

Option 3:

Ever read a story that really made you mad? Maybe it was about the government secretly spying on you. Don't automatically believe what you just read and pass it on. Many false news stories purposely play on our fears, knowing that doing so will make people follow their emotions and not their brains.

One example of such a story concerned a Texas family of five diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus. Because of the family's diagnosis, the story said, the entire town where they lived was under quarantine. The fake story, published on a site called National Report during the height of the Ebola crisis, took off on Facebook, where hundreds of thousands of people read it, "liked" it and passed it on..., if you find yourself getting pretty steamed, take a step back and re-evaluate.

Simply conduct an online search for "Texas Family of five Ebola" and see what comes up. If sites like The New York Times, CBS or CNN are running the same story, it's likely true.

1.       What is the main point of this passage?

Option 3:  Read passage. Answer questions with complete sentences.

We were walking slowly. The guards were in no hurry. We were glad of it. As we were passing through some of the villages, many Germans watched us, showing no surprise. No doubt they had seen quite a few of these processions...

On the way, we saw some young German girls. The guards began to tease them. The girls giggled. They allowed themselves to be kissed and tickled, bursting with laughter. They all were laughing, joking, and passing love notes to one another. At least, during all that time, we endured neither shouting nor blows.

After four hours, we arrived at the new camp: Buna. The irongate closed behind us.
