Night Discussion Questions
Activities:
The students will be reading an excerpt from Night and answering discussion questions that pertain to that selection.
Students will be able to define what verbal irony is with 100% accuracy.
Verbal irony is when a person says or writes one thing and means another, or uses words to convey a
meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning.
Students will be able to identify why the first sentence of the selection from Night is an example of
verbal irony with 80% accuracy.
In the selection, Elie Wiesel says, “The SS gave us a fine New Year’s gift.”
The New Year’s gift that Elie and the other prisoners were given was a selection.
Selection was when a medical officer would inspect the prisoners and decide whether or not the
prisoners would continue to live or be sent to their deaths.
This is an example of verbal irony because the selection process is by no means a gift for any of the
prisoners.
The only way it would be considered a gift is if the prisoner wanted to be put out of his misery.
Students will be able to answer comprehension questions based on the excerpt of Night with 80%
accuracy.
