Reader Response Portfolio You will respond to your choice of TEN of the following prompts over the course of the unit. Each response is worth four points and must include the following to receive full credit (see rubric for more information): 1) AT LEAST two complete paragraphs (4-6 sentences each) 2) Response is detailed, thoughtful, and incorporates both personal reasoning and references to the texts we have read. Each entry should be on a new page and should be numbered according to which prompt you are answering. Your entries should be kept in your Reader Response Portfolio and will be checked periodically throughout the unit. You will turn in your completed Portfolio at the end of the unit for ONE TEST GRADE. Prompts for Reader Response Portfolio 1. Think about the images that we have seen so far of the Holocaust. How did seeing these images make you feel? Have you ever seen images like these before? Think back to your emotions upon first seeing these images and describe the feeling you had. 2. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like you were being treated unfairly? Describe this situation and what you learned from that experience. 3. Reread the first paragraph of Night. Describe your response to this paragraph. What was Wiesel trying to get the audience to realize about his experience with this paragraph? 4. How can a person’s race put them at a disadvantage in today’s world? What are some examples of these disadvantages you see on the news or around the community? Consider also how someone’s race might put him or her at an advantage. Have you ever had a personal experience with this? 5. Respond to the following quote by Elie Wiesel, “Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have to the duty to reject despair.” What do you think he meant by this statement? What role has memory and remembering played in this unit so far? 6. Respond to the following quote by Mohandas Gandhi: “The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall…Freedom and slavery are mental states.” What do you think he means by “freedom and slavery are mental states”? How could this statement apply to the topics we have covered so far in class? 7. Wiesel wrote of those things he will never forget (p. 32). After reading Night, what images, ideas, and feelings do you think you will never forget? 8. Each of our readings has recounted in vivid detail an experience that each author has had during a difficult time in their lives. Describe an event in your life, good or bad that you can recall in vivid detail. How does this memory make you feel? Why do you think you can recall this with such detail? 49 Spring 2011
