Second Year Literature 2011: I am David By Matias Johnstone

28 April 2011

I am David By Matias Johnstone

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

I lived all my childhood in a concentration camp. When I escaped, I had only one objective: get to Denmark .

I started walking southwards with a compass till I got to Salonica. I got on a boat and travelled to Italy. I nearly died but I was helped by a man who gave me food and a lifebelt. Thats how I got to Italy. I stayed in a beautiful place and stayed there, but I got afraid and continued my journey, and I got to a house with a big vineyard, where I saved a girl called Maria.

I started asking for lifts, and got to Sweden. There an old lady told me about a woman (my mom) and helped me cross to Germany.

There a farmer shut me in his barn, from where I escaped with a dog that helped me cross to Denmark by distracting the guards. When I got to Denmark, I looked for my moms name in a telephone box. Then I went to look for her.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS

Welcome to our blog! Here we will keep in touch during the whole school year and share our activities.

Instructions:
For each reading assignment I would like you to post something to this blog about the reading. Among the things you may want to comment on are:

1- Things that have happened in the story at this point and their significance to the overall story.

2- Characters (their actions, motivations,what they say, how they affect other characters, etc.)

3- Quotes from the reading, especially if they are significant in developing the many themes in the novel.

4- Questions that you have about what you've read (including things you don't understand)

Make sure that you put your name at the beginning of each entry you make so that we know who you are as we read the blog.I hope to make this blog a major part of our class discussion over the daily reading, but how effective that is depends entirely on what you contribute.
Remember, you need to post something for each reading assignment, and it must be posted before you come to class. I will leave the length up to you, but what you write should be long enough to meaningfully contribute to our discussion. I will discuss with you a fair way to give credit for these blog postings.
