For the past few weeks our class has been reading, studying, and examining The Diary of Anne Frank. We have learned much about Anne as well as her family and friends. We have gotten great insight to these people and their lives during The Holocaust. Today I would like you to dive a little further in and become investigators of these peoples lives before, during, and after The Holocaust.
Each of your groups have been given a name of a person who appears in The Diary of Anne Frank. It is your job to research that person and find out as much information about them as you can.
When you have finished researching we will come together as a class to see what each group has discovered about the lives of these people and discuss what was the included or left out of Anne’s Diary.
So get started and good luck!

The task with your group will be to research one of the lives in The Diary of Anne Frank.
As of now you are all investigators of these peoples’ lives before, during, and after The Holocaust and World War II.
After you have finished your research your group will make a poster about this person that includes important information as well as pictures.
At the end of this week we will be coming together as a class so that each group can share what they have found out with the rest of the class!

This entry must be completed in class and must be ready to hand in with the poster.
You have all read The Diary of Anne Frank. This book shows Anne’s point of view but now it is your turn to interpret and show what the other people in Anne’s life were thinking.
Create a diary entry of the person you have researched during the time of The Holocaust. This can be about how they were feeling, what they might have been seeing, or their day to day activities. It is up to you!
You may choose to have one person write this or work as a group to write it. Either way you are a team so you are all responsible for the work each of you does. You will be reading this diary entry aloud to the class along with your poster presentation!

The stories of The Holocaust are terrible, but through it all we have learned about people who were willing to help those in need and risk everything to save a few.
We must remember Anne Frank, her family, and friends. Remember what they went through and how hatred and prejudice destroyed so many lives. We must remember the sacrifices they made and horrors they went through.
Most of all we must learn from the past. Small hateful words can turn in to big hateful ideas. The inability to do what is right and simply follow can lead to catastrophe.
I hope that you have all learned from Anne Frank and her diary.

This lesson was developed as a follow up lesson to The Diary of Anne Frank and as a unit activity when studying The Holocaust. It was made to collaborate with a history class so that the students will be studying WWII while at the same time reading The Diary of Anne Frank.
With this activity I wanted students to do an in-depth study of the people in Anne’s Diary. The Holocaust is a very broad and sensitive subject. With using real characters and people that the students have been reading about it gives them a chance to relate this activity back to their reading, and back to the information that they have been learning about WWII in their history class.
This lesson requires students to use many abilities and strategies to complete the project. They will be using teamwork skills, research/internet skills, writing skills, and reading skills.
At the end of the lesson I wanted students to walk away with a knowledge of WWII, The Holocaust, and The Diary of Anne Frank. As I said before it is meant to be a follow up lesson to the book. It lets the students get out of the classroom and use outside knowledge and sources to relate back to what they have been learning in the classroom.

This lesson is designed for a ninth grade Language Arts class and involves the history of WWII as well.
Although I believe that The Holocaust should be studied in-depth in the ninth grade this webquest could work for a younger or an older classroom, for younger classes adaption's might need to be made. This webquest could also be adapted to a history classroom during the study of WWII

The Process (Teacher)(Also Reference Back to Students Version of Process for further details.)
1. First have students get into assigned groups (you will want to do this before class, it’s up to you how you group the students. You can let them choose, decide for them based upon who would work well together, simply number off, etc – use what works best for your class.) : below I have listed what person each group is to research based upon what group number they are.
Group 1: Anne Frank Group 2: Otto FrankGroup 3: Peter Van Daan Group 4: Miep GiesGroup 5: Margot Frank
Students will have 2 class periods to complete this project. This might include a Monday & Wednesday (if you meet 3 times a week) with the presentation on Friday. Or You can complete it over a two-week period depending on what else you might be working on in class or the age/pace of your students). This includes finishing the poster and the diary entry! At the beginning of class on Friday (or when you choose) each group will be presenting to the class This is not a project you want to rush through too quickly. The Holocaust is a sensitive subject and needs a lot of discussion time and study time.
2. Each group will decide how they will work as a team to complete the project. (Along with a great language arts activity this is also a great team building, group work, activity) .You might suggest that some students look for pictures, others may want to search the web for information, or the group may want to assign a couple people to work on the poster as they find the information. They must decide as a group how the work will be split up. Teamwork and use of class time will be a part of the final grade!
3. Here are the questions students will be answering and that need to show somewhere on their poster. (for an older or younger class you can change the questions, add to, take away, etc.)
1. Name of the person and person’s family members.
2. Where was this person born?
3. When was this person born?
4. What was their role during The Holocaust? (where were they, hidden, helping others, etc. I want to know where they were and what they were doing)
5. What role did they play in The Diary of Anne Frank?
6. Give 5 significant facts about this person’s life. Such as a hobbies, likes, dislikes. Did they survive (if so what did they do after the war?) If they didn’t survive when did the die and how? Any relevant fact that you find will be appropriate.
7. You must provide 3-5 pictures of this person during his/her lifetime. If you cannot find pictures of the person look for pictures of places they lived or when to before, during, or after The Holocaust
Here are some websites that the groups may find useful: (Again you can add to or take away from this list)Http://www.annefrank.org/content.asp?pid=1&lid=2Http://www.bbc.co.uk/annefrank/biogs/ottofrank.shtmlHttp://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?Moduleld=10005210Http://teacher.scholastic.com/frank/miep.htmHttp://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?GRid=16636468&page=grHttp://www.pocantiocohills.org/womenenc/frank.htmHttp://www.aushwitz.dk/Http://hiostoricalbiographies.suite101.com/article.cfm/anne_frank_and_the frank family
Also remember that you can use information from the book itself!
After each group has finished putting their poster together have them double check the list and the rubric to make sure they have included everything!
(The rubric can be found on the next page)
Also make sure that you they know how and have sighted the sources they used either on the back of their poster or on a separate sheet of paper to turn in!
Diary Entry: (1 page, double spaced, typed) – For a history class you may want to leave this activity out. Or you can adapt this lesson to be easier, harder, etc for an older or a younger class. Again, use what works best for your class!
This entry must be completed in class and must be ready to hand in with the poster.
You have all read The Diary of Anne Frank. This book shows Anne’s point of view but now it is your turn to interpret and show what the other people in Anne’s life were thinking.

Describe what's needed to implement this lesson. Some of the possibilities:
•Class sets of books (The Diary of Anne Frank)•Access to a Library (with computers) or a computer lab for two-days•Poster-boards for each group•Markers, crayons, etc to use to make the posters. •If you are teaching it with a history class you might want to include the history teacher as a resource. •You can find links to possible websites to use on the Process page.•3 class periods (time)
One teacher will be enough to implement this lesson. However the students’ history class is studying WWII you might want to include their history teacher to adapt or change the product for more or less detail. Also because this is a sensitive subject you may want to get some parent help so that the parents feel involved and informed about what their students are learning. (This is up to you, it may also be helpful to have parents to aid each group with their work).

The Diary of Anne Frank and the history of The Holocaust are both very sensitive but immensely important subject matter to teach. Part of our roles as English teachers includes not just teaching our students how to read and write but also the importance of words and what they can mean for someone. Anne Frank was a real girl who used words to help her get through one of the toughest times in her life. All students can learn and relate to this girl. Although they may not be going through as dire a situation as Anne Frank all teenagers can empathize and relate to what she was going through as an adolescent and as a person even if they can’t relate to the circumstance.
It is important to let our students research and get to know the book through outside sources. It makes the story more real and it helps them learn the research skills they will need for the future. This book teaches many important lessons and opens up a world of questioning for our students.
Anne Frank may have been a young girl, but her words and her ideas cannot be overlooked or forgotten. Through her diary, her family, and her history our students can learn the importance of family, of friendship, of what can happen when power is put in the wrong hands, and what happens when people follow a leader unquestioningly.
