Wow! What a great day we had today in class! Many times students forget about the importance of theme when we switch reading passages and genres. With our study of Anne Frank we talk a lot of the characteristics that are found in narrative non-fictions readings. Today we again discussed theme in regards to why individuals view the Holocaust as an important time in history. We followed a photo narrative activity with pictures from the USHMM website. Students were given 26 different pictures and instructed to choose six that they believe addressed one of the three themes: 1) Why remember the Holocaust? 2) Tell the chronological story of the Holocaust 3) Reflect on how and why the Holocaust even happened. Below you will find pictures that taken today in class.
As an extension activity, students were given all 26 pictures and were instructed to place each individual picture into the "right theme" and defend their reasoning!
