Create a multi-media project that focuses on “Night” and two or three other historical events that you believe should never be forgotten. Please consider the following: • Focus on remembering – what is it about this event that needs to be remembered. The event is not as important as why it needs to be remembered.
• Events from any point in history, up to and including current events.
• Events can be big or small, effecting the entire world or just a small community, such as wars, pandemics, natural disasters, community events or celebrations, etc.

Instructions

This project will be broken up into three or four sections.
• Section 1 (required) – “Night”
o In his Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance speech, Ellie Weisel stated, “if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices” and “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” His purpose for writing this novel was to help the world remember what had happened, to prevent it from happening again.
o Using the theme of remembering, analyze “Night.” How does the author support this theme throughout the novel? Provide textual evidence to help support and explain your analysis.
o Research is optional for this section. If you do additional research, you will need to include your sources in your Works Cited page.
o You will include the novel “Night” as a source on your Works Cited page.
• Sections 2 and 3 (Required) – Historical events of your choosing
o Choose a historical event (refer to information in the Assignment section.)
o Research this event to gather more information about it. You will be required to include your sources in a Works Cited Page.
o Include at least one source for each historical event.
o Briefly explain the event and its significance.
o Explain why this event needs to be remembered. What is it about this event that the world, or community must never forget?
