I'm about to start teaching one of the novels that had a big impact on me when I first read it in high school. Night, a holocaust survivor's story, is a book that I think is a must read for all high school students.
I want this book to mean something to my students. One way to get them to connect with it is to ease some of the confusion that will come with figuring out where it is set, where the narrator travels, and where he ends up. I found this AMAZING interactive map that gives readers a great visual of the forced journey the author makes, and just how far from home he ends up. You can find it here. More posts to come on teaching this novel!
