Every year my students study the WWII time period and the Holocaust as we read the play "The Diary of Anne Frank." Their questions are always the same. Why would people treat others so cruelly? What was it like to live then? How did people survive it? I try to give them answers, but I'd like to do more. I would like to let those who have studied the time, or better yet, who lived through it, speak for themselves. I want to give them the answers through books. Books allow us to time travel. Books allow readers to see the perspectives of others and to get a new view of history. Books are the door to new perspectives and experiences. I have chosen a list of novels and non-fiction texts that will provide a wide array of information and viewpoints as the students study this important and difficult time period. This activity will provide rich opportunities for students to learn about the way history is recorded, to deepen their understanding of the impact of events on individuals, and to experience empathy for others who have experienced hardship. This opportunity is especially important for my students because I work at a Title 1 school, and many of my students do not come from text-rich homes. This experience will give them to an opportunity to use a text to seek new information and ideas--an exciting and formative experience they may not have had at home. I have requested to receive the texts in sets of four for group reading, so that students can discuss these powerful subjects and develop their thoughts with their peers. Thank you for your attention and support for my and my kids. We can't wait to see where this adventure takes us!
