No fluff included

On Tuesday, we went outside to do the group introduction to Milkweed. I can see why this activity was relevant to the novel. I was really uncomfortable when people were volunteering to be the jackboots. I would never want to volunteer for a position like that. I liked the idea of the activity. I liked how the group asked what movies and books talked about Nazi’s and Jews. It was amazing to see how many of the books written about this topic were from the eyes of a little kid. I don’t know if I could teach Milkweed in the classroom, unless it was to an 11th grade AP class. The reason why I wouldn’t teach this book to a freshman class is because I think that the students wouldn’t take this book as seriously as it needs to be taken. I could teach it to 11th grade/ AP. I guess I would suggest this book as a book talk for sophomores who want a brief introduction to the Holocaust. I thought a lot about my book talks that are coming up. I also have an idea for my chapter that is worth 30% of our grade.
