Step 2:  Reflective Essay

After researching the Holocaust and reading Night, what have you learned about man's inhumanity to man?  What have you learned about your own humanity?  Write a 3-5 page reflective essay that discusses these two questions in detail.  The essay must be typed, double-spaced, and 12-point font.  Part of your reflection will focus on the information you read on the websites, so you will need to include citations in the essay.  Because you are using resources, you will need to complete a works cited page.  We will review the rules for incorporating quotations and how to create a works cited page.  For additional help and resources, please visit the AUHSD site I have provided.
