When introducing the lesson the class will be introduced to the story The Diary of Anne Frank. This is the
book we will read as a class that they will also have the opportunity to AR test on at the end of the unit. We
will start the week and the lessons with a discussion to see if anyone knows or has heard of the story we are
about to read. Along with reading at least 2/3 chapters a day the students will have opportunities afterwards
to work on their group projects as well as worksheets for vocabulary and spelling for the week.

5. Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives (goals) and meet their needs
This lesson is all about fun while learning. It is more of a hands on project to get the students
minds going. There will be class-wide discussions as well as small group. With these discussions
I hope that the students will gain a better understanding of the lesson as a whole.

6. Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives (goals)
My goals this week are for the students to know what someone means when they talk about the
Holocaust, or what one of the great causes of World War Two were. I want them to be able to
engage in knowledgeable discussions in and outside of the classroom with peers and with
elders.

this weeks story.
