And now, for your weekend assignment...
- On an A4/DS/TNR/F12...in one to two paragraphs...answer this simple question statement..."After having watched the movie Schindler's List and The Diary of Anne Frank, try putting yourself in the shoes of any of the people who were gravely affected by the Holocaust. What do you think would matter most to you as an individual given the same situation the people of those times faced? Give concrete examples based on the movies to further support your answers." Make sure to copy the question statement on top of your paper before writing your response to it...a part of the grade for this writing is based on "comprehension" of the question, so try to figure it out by yourself...!
- In your NB...answer this simple question in 5-7 sentences..."Why do you think Oskar Schindler really had a change of heart in the way he treated the Jews?" Do not answer this question by simply saying things like the little girl in red dress or he saw how they were killed, etc. These are very shallow answers! Think and figure out the real motive he must have had in doing what he did to save as many as he can...!
Have a GREAT weekend, everyone...! Take care and be safe always...CIAO!!!
