Sorry guys! The blog was being funny about logging in, so this is the first chance I've had to write! Anyway, the two points...
1. Post your definition of witness/bearing witness from class today.
2. In no more than three sentences define how Night is Wiesel's act of bearing witness.

Water Main Breaks and James Joyce
Hello all,
I hope that you are enjoying your unexpected break. In order to try and keep up and not fall behind, I am posting a project for you to work on. I have divided the class into three groups of six. Each group is responsible for one part of background on James Joyce, Ireland, and The Dubliners. Instead of me creating a background information PowerPoint, you all will be responsible for the background to The Dubliners. Please read below for the structure of your groups. Be prepared with information on your topic when we go back to class. We will have some library time to get your presentations together, but you need to come to class with your ideas and notes ready! I will check them for a homework grade!
Group 1- The life and times of James Joyce
Ani
Sunny
Alex
Rebecca
Alexis
Kris
Group 2- Ireland 1900-1920 (focus on 1914 when the book was published)
Ryan
Matt
Sydney
Carly
Taylor
Heather
Group 3- The Dubliners (background and basics of the story-- mention paralysis, gnomon, epiphany, and entrapment)
Alexa
Max
Taquir
Taran
Cara
Sierra
