This literature guide includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of learning activities.

Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns the lesson plan to the standards. We’ve filmed some training videos on (1) how to assemble a Novel Analysis Packet that is unique to the academic needs of your learners and (2) how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.

Students explore the lives of Holocaust victims and Holocaust survivors through analysis questions, comprehension activities, and writing prompts. Vocabulary lessons and journal writing encourage students to find their own perspective on Anne’s diary. Class discussion, study groups, and self expression help children process complex feelings about Jews in Europe during the war.

This unit pairs young girl lesson plans with biography excerpts on Anne Frank, background information on World War II, and a Holocaust reading list. Students explore themes of courage, hope, and family through Anne’s diary. Discussion provides the historical context of human rights in WWII. Social studies and world history connections give teachers a way to keep Anne Frank remembered for new generations.

What Other Teachers Are Saying About This Literature Resource

♥ Thorough and wonderful! Thank you! There’s so much information that I’m still going through it! Students in previous years seemed somewhat tired of The Diary of Anne Frank unit, but the students this year really actually said they had fun and enjoyed it! Thank you for spicing up my unit! 🙂

♥ WOW! This is phenomenal! Covers a lot of information very effectively. Eye-catching, clear and visually compelling. High-quality. Excellent intro to Anne Frank.

♥ Good resource. Lots of variety – wearing the star of David was a highlight. Thanks for the CC alignment, too.

♥ Thank you for such an informational and interesting resource. It was quite valuable before, during and after our reading of The Diary, and I appreciate the hard work you put in to creating it.

♥ As the last book for us this year in my reading class, this is a great help! While using the PowerPoint to introduce it, my wiggly, giggly, talky 7th period was stunned. I have never had so many questions from my lowest performing class. This is a great overview introduction on WWII to get students interested and engaged. Once again, I love the design, and it’s been a breath of fresh air to get my creative juices going on creating new material as well. Thanks!
