Station	Activity
1. Goal Setting/conferencing with teachers	Early in the year, you wrote a letter of introduction to me. One of the things you addressed was related to what you wanted to improve upon in terms of your academic English skills: reading, writing, vocabulary, discussion and  research skills are broad categories that come to mind.  So, what do you want to improve upon and why? Even if you don’t see academic English skills as being super important to your academic or career goals, perhaps they will play some role in your professional, personal or creative life.   Consider some of the skills below and then write a well-developed paragraph addressing the following: Which skill would you most like to improve upon this year and why? Also, what types of specific activities do you think you/we could do in and out of class to help you improve those skills? Throw some ideas at me. Try to be as specific as possible. Writing…Creative/narrative writing, Essay writing, Sentence construction Reading Discussion  & speaking skills Research skills Something else?
2. Creative Response	In chapter 6, we read about Juliek’s beautiful violin music, which Elie somehow heard (whether in a dream or in reality): “The darkness enveloped us. All I could hear was the violin, and it was as if Juliek’s soul had become his bow.  He was playing his life. His whole being was gliding over the strings (95)”.  Find a song you relate to in which you feel that the artist is creating meaning in the midst of darkness or challenges.  Share the lyrics and a link to the video or audio.  Then write a paragraph in which you explain how this song speaks to you.  What thoughts and feelings does the artist seem to be exploring? Embed (with quotes) and discuss some of the specific images or lines, and share your thoughts on them. Most importantly, how do you relate to this song? What has it helped you reflect on or just deal with? Explain some of your thoughts, relatable moments, or feelings you experience(d) when you listen to it.
3. Independent Reading	Read Chapter 7 for tomorrow
