Students connect Holocaust memoir and Biblical teaching

Kim 120X100
Kim Essenburg, English 10 teacher at Christian Academy in Japan, reflects on student learning results:
 
Here are sample student answers to the final question on my English 10 test on Night, a Holocaust memoir by Elie Wiesel: What else did you learn this unit that you did not have a chance to show on the test?
  • Night changed my view of the sufferings of others and made me realize my sinful nature.” 
  • “I am blessed. I cannot repeat that enough even to realize it myself. Reading Night shocked me, and it made me realize God’s presence in my life. Now that I am more exposed to this realization, I feel like I want to do more for God and His people.”
  • “God does try to help the suffering people by sending his people to help. He uses His people….That means that God could choose me or anybody to help the suffering. All we have to do is be ready to help.”
