Good morning,
As most of you already know we are beginning our second unit which covers The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I am extremely excited about this next unit as it is something I have become very passionate about over the years. I took my first trip to the National Holocaust museum at age 7 and have been hooked ever sense. I have been back three other times and have actually traveled to Munich, Germany and walked in the first running concentration camp, Dachau. I am beyond excited to share my studies with the students!
As a Pre-Reading strategy to set up the importance of this book, the eighth graders have been constructing a scaled model of a house that includes a secret annex or hiding space. They have not read one single word of Anne Frank as of yet and the products were incredible! I have attached a few of the pictures from this week in class. Please join us the week of October 26th for parent teacher conferences so you can see the fully finished products!
