ASSIGNMENTS BELOW
We are starting our year with a writing and reading comprehension assessment. This gives me the ability to put the student at a level and gear the learning to suit the individual
Then we will be looking at After the War by Carol Matas.
After World War II, Ruth, a 15-year-old survivor of Buchenwald has nowhere to turn. Recruited by Brichah, an underground organization that helps people get to Palestine, Ruth risks her life to lead a group of children there, using secret routes and forged documents. During our novel selection voting process, the students all showed interest in World War II and the Holocaust. With a well of interesting assignments, online resources and many different opinions surrounding this subject matter I am excited to engage the students in a cross-curricular study of one of our most important pieces of world history!
Throughout the coming months students will encounter a variety of different literacy/media based sources that they will also be responding to on a regular basis.
Here is an interesting video introducing the second World War.
