Night Dialectical Journals (75 points) A dialectical journal includes parts of a text and your response to those sections. It is like a conversation between you and the text of the book. For each section of reading, you will need to do the following: · select 3 striking or significant quotations (with proper citations). · discuss those quotations in a short paragraph (approx. 3-5 sentences) by presenting your views about the events; identifying and explaining themes; identifying literary techniques and explaining the effects of literary techniques; or analyzing the scene in the context of the entire book, in terms of characterization, or in terms of changes seen throughout the story. 15 points are available for each section. Your responses will be graded according to · the selection of your quotations (that they are relevant, important, or pivotal moments with enough “meat” and length to warrant discussion) · and the accuracy and detail of your discussion. Note: While you only need to write 3-5 sentences, your discussion of the idea should not be superficial. Your ideas within a paragraph should be linked fluidly to avoid redundancy and unnecessary wordiness. An A level journal must reflect consistent attention to all of the criteria above. Sections: 1. pages 1-20 2. pages 21-43 3. pages 45-62 4. pages 63-80 5. pages 81-end Here are a few example responses based on the quotation below: “He rarely displayed his feelings, not even within his family, and was more involved in the A level Comment: Clearly, Elie’s father demonstrates that the community is important to him. Being involved in the community is admirable, but this might cause Elie and his family to feel neglected. A father and husband should take care of his family. Because his dad focuses more on the community, it might appear to Elie that his father doesn’t care, thus damaging that relationship. B Level Comment: Elie’s father is involved in the community, but ignoring his family might make it appear he doesn’t care (when this might not be true). They might get frustrated with this eventually. C Level Comment: Elie and his family might get mad at the dad because he doesn’t pay much attention to them. D level Comment: Elie’s father doesn’t pay attention to the family. F Level Comment (No comment or off topic) ======

Note: All comments do not have to be LENGTHY. Some quotations warrant more discussion than others. However, I will grade according to how well you handle the quotations you select on the whole and whether or not you are picking up on the ideas that are developing throughout the novel. Choose quotations of significance and put some thought into what you write. ======

I will choose the top three blog entries for the day and those entries which are chosen will receive extra credit!
