Now we're finally getting to the main goal of this lesson:  Creating an imagery-rich poem that explains why the book is titled Night!

Since you can define and identify imagery in a completely new work, you can identify imagery from Night so that you can synthesize it into a poem.  If you have been keeping a good dialogue journal with your partner, this next step should be made quite easier. 

 

Steps to creating an imagery web.

 

  1. If you are in 9th Grade Directed, each partner should take out your copies of Night, your dialogue journals, and a piece of paper for each of you to write on. Otherwise, skip to step 2.

    2. Return to the top

 

  1. Write the word "Night" in the center of each piece of paper.

  1. Now, add images words to your list from the book Night.   Use your dialogue journal and/or your books to get specific examples.

Remember, these should be important images that will help you explain the title!
