Think about the way the narrator (Death) feels in the passage from The Book Thief. These key quotes may help– pay attention to specific word choice (DICTION).“Please believe me when I tell you that I picked
up each soul that day as if it were newly born. I even kissed a few weary, poisoned cheeks.”
“I watched their love visions and freed them from their fear.”
“I took them all away, and if ever there was a time I needed distraction, this was it. In complete desolation, I looked at the world above.”

“Auschwitz Shifts From Memorializing to
Teaching”

The NY Times article implies that your generation, Generation Z (New Millennials), ought to be taught differently than the ones that came before because they need to be guided to feel “responsibility to the present.” Is that true?

The Book Thief tells the story of the Holocaust in a very different way than the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, but both seek to engage and educate young people. How do you think the story of the
Holocaust should be told to people your age?
How should it not be told? Why?FIND EVIDENCE FROM THE SELECTIONS

Consider whether your piece reflects what New Millennials or Generation Z (or a different people group, depending on
your chosen audience) value. Create a chart like the one below to brainstorm
what matters to your generation; then try REVISING your draft to insert some of those ideas.
