Here are some valuable links for your project, which is due Wednesday, December 3rd
AHS Resource Catalog: http://www.fultonschools.org/school/alpharettahs/media_center/resources.html (Galileo and JSTOR are great places for finding articles and most of the time they give you the MLA citation)
Citation Machine: http://citationmachine.net/ (Select MLA and then pick which kind of source you are using, plug in the info and voila!)
Remember, you may not use Wikipedia for a source, but most likely you can use the sources at the bottom of the page (the citations for the wiki article). A webpage is "good" information if it is a university webpage or written by a professor. Do not use an article or website that doesn't have an author or name. Think credibility! If you have trouble deciding what is good information, then read this website: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html OR http://www.library.jhu.edu/researchhelp/general/evaluating/

Night Blog Entry #3
None of us can be sure how we would react to an extreme situation, until we are actually in it. But try to imagine what kind of a person you would become if you were in a concentration camp like the one described in Night. How would you react to the situations in the story (and other stories) that we’ve read?
