7A English - Hana's Suitcase
We have begun reading Hana's Suitcase as a short Novel Study. To meet the different learning styles, we will be reading and listening to this story.
Two focus questions we discussed prior to reading are:
What is the nature of forgiveness and how is it possible to go on after great suffering?
What is the nature of hate and why is hate so prevalent in books and on the internet?
I have suggested to the students to have discussion with you, their parents, surrounding these questions. You may wish to use the internet, books from your local library or personal knowledge / experience to help.
I have advised the students NOT to explore the internet on their own. These topics, especially surrounding the Holocaust and "hate" can produce graphic results that are not appropriate to be viewed without parental knowledge and guidance.
If your child will be away during the Passover observance, please note that the students will be continuing to read over the week of April 14-17.
