Elie Wiesel Nobel Prize Speech ~ Night Pre-reading activity
Night is the heart wrenching first hand account of Elie Wiesel's internment in the Auschwitz Camp during the Holocaust. In order to truly lead into the novel, it is important to impress upon students that Elie Wiesel spent his life devoted to reversing racism around the globe. Reading his Nobel Prize Acceptance speech will do just that. To accommodate scaffolding, I have included one version that caters to teaching persuasion and rhetorical analysis and a second that asks questions pertaining to

James and the Giant Peach Test, Chapters 11-22 and 23-39
This document contains two tests I created to test deeper thinking among my small group / guided reading groups.
It is designed in the style of state assessments, which usually require much more thinking than simply "what happened in the story" questions.
After reading the book and giving smaller assignments along the way, give this assessment as a final checkpoint for each section.
If you haven't already downloaded it, I posted a test for chapters 1-10 for free.

• Laminate the directions (icon driven for those students who have difficulty reading) and you're ready to go!
• All Spanish activities and pictures are indicated with a yellow dot to easily differentiate between English and Spanish for transitional classr
