Journal
“Humanity's legacy of stories and storytelling
is the most precious we have.
All wisdom is in our stories and songs.
A story is how we construct our experiences.
At the very simplest, it can be:
'He/she was born, lived, died.'
Probably that is the template of our stories—
a beginning, middle, and end.
This structure is in our minds.” Doris Lessing
“I decided to devote my life
to telling the story
because I felt that having survived
I owe something to the dead.
And anyone who does not remember
betrays them again.” --Elie Wiesel

Vocabulary
- Take the vocab quiz, then turn it into the drawer. This is a quiz, so you absolutely may not talk.
