Fundaments 5 Statements:
We will demonstrate our knowledge and understanding of historical fiction by reading selections from
Number the Stars.
I will read and take notes in preparation of a graphic organizer (to be determined – after reading second
historical fiction).
Warm - up
What would it be like if someone came and took your best friend away, or your
parents? Write 3 to 5 sentences about what that might be like.
Hook
TW introduce the story briefly and show the following clip.

Also, at some point I would also show the following two clips so they have
more background, but haven’t decided if I should show it before they start
reading, or afterward.

Individual
Work
(thinking of
putting them
in pairs for
this).
TSW will read selections from Number the Stars noting the genre, theme,
setting, characters and topic.
 What is the setting for the story? How do you know?
 Who is the main character? Describe her qualities?
 What is the mood of the story?
 What are you thinking as you read this story?
 What is the climax of the story?
 What is the denouement?
 How different is Annemarie’s life from yours?
TSW write a paragraph or two summarizing each chapter they read.
Closer
On a 3x5 card, write two things you are grateful for that you have that
Annemarie did not have.
