Intermediate 1: Night
We are now reading Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night.
You should have read up to page 18 last night. Your job now is to finish reading to the end of chapter one, page 34, by Friday. We'll be doing some work on it.
I will publish a guide to reading/our lessons sometime over the next week which will let you know where you should be at any given point in the term. One tip: try reading a little every night. If you read a little every night, you stay on top of the story, and lessons will make a lot more sense. At this level, there's not a lot of in-class time for reading aloud, but we will do some of this as we go along. Lesson time is mostly for contextual work, analysing the text and working out how to write essays about it.
Please do use the vocab 'parking lot'. We'll be working with the words each week.
And please do keep asking questions!
