Homework 1/13

1. Write your persona's biography and diary entry #1.

• Your diary entry should be written in first person (I, me, us, we) as though you are your character. 
• Weave in details about your character's life, family, education, interests, etc. These details will make your character feel "real" and authentic. 
• Use sensory details -- What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you taste? What do you feel? -- to bring your story to life and make it feel 3 dimensional. 

Note: I've shared a Google document titled "Holocaust Diary." This is the document where you will write your bio and diary entries.

2. Read and annotate Night to page 43.
