A Child of the Holocaust Speaks

Using the video Anne Frank "Speaks," students will be introduced to the life of a child of the Holocaust via video. After watching the video, students will be asked to begin to make connections of all the information that has thus far been presented. Students will be asked to begin a "Child of the Holocaust" journal. In this reflection and journaling piece, students will be asked to journal in response to the novel that they will be reading in literature class as well as the literature circle books they will be reading in library class. These journal responses will be first person responses as students "adopt" a name of the child of the Holocaust and begin to response to all the reading and information through that child's eyes.
