Today I continued working with the student from Day 10. At the end of the block we had made the explanations for all of the pictures we found on Day 10. I cannot wait for us to put the finishing touches on it tomorrow - putting the pictures and explanations into the blank book. I hope he is as proud of it as I am; I wish I could keep it as a memory of this time. He did a really good job. I am impressed at how well we worked together today and how much he remembered about the Holocaust from the movies, books, and introduction.
On a side note, we now have longer days due to all the previous protest days. I know having longer days is worth not having to extend the school calendar, but the blocks seem so very long now. I guess if they seem long to me, they must be agonizing to students. Just something I will have to keep in mind as I plan lessons - keep it lively or lose them.
