Last week we started our unit on Anne Frank and the Holocaust. Before we start reading the play, we are learning about the time period and the historical events surrounding Hitler's rise to power in the aftermath of WWI.
Students will be selecting a Holocaust era book to read for their next Independent Novel Projects. Ideally, students will have their novel by Monday, October 27th. However, it is important that they find a book they connect with, so if they aren't liking their chosen book there will still be a little time to make changes. Below is a book list, but students are not limited to these titles. There are lots of choices out there -- from fiction to survival stories -- so this list is just a start. I am bringing in lots of choices from Multnomah County Library. Students may borrow these books from me, but they are responsible for the cost if they get lost. Parents, please talk to your student about their book and make sure you approve of their selection.

Due on Monday, October 27th: Anne Frank Background Questions
This week, I will see 5th period students on Monday and Tuesday. 6th period students only attend LA/LIT on Monday due to the dance on Tuesday afternoon. I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at conferences on Wednesday, October 29th from 8:30am to 7:30pm with breaks for lunch from 11:30 to 12:30pm and dinner from 4:30 to 5:30pm.
Have a great week and a fun Halloween!
