Hello All,
As I mentioned to you all, there is NO WORK due on Monday because it is a holiday. All work that you submit will be for the Holocaust final project. Whatever you choose to submit from the final task sheet I gave you over three weeks ago, must be handed in on May 31, 2013.
Ms. Stern is visiting our classroom as a Holocaust representative for her grandmother. You must have one or two questions ready to ask during the interview. This will help you for your final project. She may visit either Tuesday or Wednesday so please be ready!
All Student Release Forms and Donors Choose permission slips (8-421 only) must be handed in. This is not a choice, I MUST HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!
For being responsible, I am granting all students extra points for handing it in. If you know you didn't hand it in please do so expeditiously.
May 31, 2013 will be our celebration! Please bring the food/beverages you signed up for to contribute to our menu. on Friday. In order to participate you need to have your poem or your poetry portfolio to read. Class 8-401 the list will be discussed on Friday, 5.24.13. Please bring more than enough to feed over 40 people. Any questions, will be discussed in class.
For the next several days your class time will be dedicated to the Holocaust final project. Bring your supplies to class.

PBH Due 5.20.13
Hello All,
Both classes, please do the following:
I. Research and write four examples of discriminatory practices against your race in the United States. Explain why it happened and how it is affecting your ethnicity today? How is it similar or not to how Jews were treated during the Holocaust?
II. Make sure to go to the library to select a Holocaust fiction book of your choice for in class independent reading if you have not done so already. There are still some students who do not have their books for their book group. I posted the Holocaust Fiction books web links two weeks ago but I will post it again for your benefit.
III. Reread the final task and think about what you would like to focus your end of unit project on. If you are interested in creating a Holocaust poetry portfolio, the outline will be given to you this week.
Reminder
Bring in your trip permission slip by Friday of this week. Read what you need to bring for this community service trip. The trip is tentatively set for Monday, May 20, 2013.
If you have any questions, please email me at thereadingcafe@aol.com or call Dial-A-Teacher at 212.777.3380 for assistance in other subject areas.
