First period finished up chapter five from Nightjohn. We explored cause and effect, looking at the broader causes of the act of sheer brutality that ended chapter five.

Notes from first period

Fifth period took a look outside of the book at a contemporary event that resonates with the themes of Nightjohn. We used the “Someone Wanted But So” engagement afterward to check our comprehension.
