Thursday, May 19th

All Classes: Students watched Night and Fog, the 1956 documentary by Alain Resnais about the Holocaust. The film cuts between footage from 1955 to footage from 1933-1945 and portrays what took place during WWII. I did my very best to prep the students for what we were going to watch, giving anyone the opportunity to not watch & leave the room if they desired. The assignment that everyone has to complete is embedded below.



Part I: Night and Fog
