PHOTOMONTAGE PROJECT ASSIGNMENT SHEET
A photomontage is a composite picture made by cutting and joining a number of photographs and text to form a unified whole that communicates meaning to the viewer. For this project, you will be combining what you have learned about symbolism in Elie Wiesel’s Night, what you know about the Holocaust, and what you have explored about hate crimes into a photomontage.

Assignment Goals
Your goals in creating the photomontage are as follows: • Further explore a symbol from Night. • Find images and text that deal with the Holocaust or more recent events and that convey the same or a similar meaning as the symbol you have chosen. • Use the images and text to create a photomontage that expresses how you feel about the book, about the events, or about hate crimes in general.

Guiding Questions
