Night by Elie Wiesel Final Project

Night by Elie Wiesel – Final Project

Choose one of the following options and create a foldable. Fold a piece of paper in half (at least a 8.5” x 11”). On the front cover, put the title of your project and a corresponding picture. On the inside, include the four sections of information that correspond with each option. On the back, list any websites, books, or articles you used for reference so you don’t PLAGIARIZE this project. Remember, you must summarize all information in your own words and not directly copy text from another source. Don’t just copy, paste, and then change a few words. Read the information, then close the source, then put the information in your own words. ALSO, PUT YOUR NAME ON THE BACK COVER!!!

This is a RESEARCH PROJECT and you will NOT be given any class time to work on it. Please see Miss Searfoss with any questions.

Use the reference library, internet, and any other resources to collect your information (EXCEPT WIKIPEDIA!). Be aware that I will be checking your facts, so don’t make up information.
