Independent Work
1. Use your deduction skills to
determine the chronological
order of the events.
2. Then, place the strips in that
order.
 Compare
the order of events with your
shoulder partner
Early Judaism
1.
2000 years ago, Jewish people live in Judea (present day Israel) and were called “Israelites.” They believe that
this land was given to them by God.
WWII (1939-1945)
1.
WWII
2.
Jews are kicked out of homes and neighborhoods by Nazis in Europe; they’re made to live in ghettos.
3.
6 million Jews are murdered in concentration camps throughout Europe over the course of WWII (2/3 of
entire population of European Jews).
Europe- Post WWII (1945)
1.
Jews who survive the war do not have homes to which to return (and if they did, they probably didn’t want to
return, as their neighbors were often the people who had turned them in to the Nazis).
Palestine/Israel- Post WWII (1947)
1.
Leading up to WWII, Israel is called Palestine, and Palestinian (Arabic) people live there. They believe that
this land has been given to them by God.
2.
Britain rules over Palestine (it is similar to a colony).
3.
Many Jews from Europe and some from other Middle Eastern/ northern African countries immigrate to
Israel.
4.
Jews want complete political freedom from the British (they want Britain to leave).
5.
Jewish radical groups are angered by Britain’s presence in Israel; these groups bomb several of Britain’s
political buildings in Israel and assassinate several British officers. British officers retaliate against bombings.
6.
The United Nations declares that Palestine will become an independent country for the Jewish people (called
Israel), even though there are Palestinian/ Arabic people currently living there.
7.
Israel must be divided in two parts: Palestinians are given a small section, and Jews are given the majority of
land.
8.
Many Palestinians are angered by having to move.
9.
Bitter relations between Jews and Palestinians continue.

 In
a half-sheet:
a paragraph, summarize the events
surrounding the opening of Dawn.
 As
we read the Preface, be thinking of the
following:
 Directions: Based
on the reading, choose
one word, one phrase, and one sentence
from the text that you think embodies the
main idea.
 What
is the setting of the novel?
 Who is our protagonist?
 Who is the enemy?
 Who recruits the protagonist?
 What is to happen at dawn?
 What does Wiesel mean when he writes,
“Does hate engender anything but hate.” ?
 How is Dawn similar to Private Peaceful?
 Is this a work of fiction or non-fiction? What
is the significance of what kind of work
Dawn is?
Terrorism is using
violence and fear of
violence for a (political)
goal.
1. Is it ever justified? If so,
under what
circumstances? If not,
why?
Draw a map of the setting of Dawn. You should draw at least 6
details and title them. You should include at least two vocabulary
words in your descriptions.
 Here is an example from All Quiet on the Western Front
Write and correct the punctuation of this
sentence. Then, in complete sentences,
explain why you punctuated it that way.
Archaeologists use archeological tools to aid
them in their digs, paleontologists, and
zoologists study the behaviors of wildlife,
and their eating habits, and entomologists
regard insects with curiosity and care.
Write and punctuate this sentence without
using periods. Then, in complete
sentences, explain why you punctuated it
that way.

them in their digs paleontologists and
zoologists study the behaviors of wildlife
and their eating habits and entomologists
regard insects with curiosity and care.
Read the following paragraph . Then, rewrite it, punctuating it correctly.
It is pretty well established that animals are
capable of suffering, we’ve come a long way
since Descartes famously compared them to:
nonfeeling machines put on earth to serve man.
Rousseau later countered this, saying that
animals shared “some measure” of human
nature, and should partake of “natural right.” No
matter where you stand on this spectrum, you
probably agree that its a noble goal to reduce
the level of the suffering of animals raised for
meat in industrial conditions.
Clear your desk of
everything other than a
pencil and your type-2s
from this week’s Dawn HW.
