We enjoyed the whole experience of the blogging, and communicating. Because it was nice to blog because we have never done stuff like this because Facebook is not like this.But at the same place we were hanging, and wanting something else to happen, while questioning the book.
The story made me consider that in school it sounds bad, at the holocaust museum made it sound gruesome and horrible, and reading the book makes me feel horrible about the feelings of the people who were the victims. We felt the pain of them as we read like we were there. One disappointing thing was the ending of the book because it was too happy and perfect but the book was so upsetting and realistic! Some of the questions we asked were. We wonder if Uri lived?! He was a Nazi but when they saved the people from the camps all the Nazi’s were killed. So was he killed with them? Another thing was we were totally impressed with how Uri saved Misha from the trains. Why didn’t Uri save Janina? What type of camp did they go to? Did Janina she survive?
Julia,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure blogging with all of you students. I can see by your questions relating to the text that you have grown and matured as a result of the unit. That is such a great thing for teachers who have taken the time to create an experience like this to see! Reading really can take students to places they've never dreamed up, to meet characters they've never known about before. Keep up the great job you're doing and keep reading and writing!!
