We are busy reviewing in the library.
In addition, 5th grade has started studying World War II in Social Studies. I am discussing the Holocaust and reading Roberto Innocenti's picture book, Rose Blanche.
As part of this unit, the student's are asked to consider the little girl who is the main character in the book. What did she think, feel, do, etc.? As an outlet to express their thoughts, students are asked to create an acrostic poem using "Rose Blanche" and include these thoughts, etc., in the poem.
Many sites are available on the internet to study the Holocaust. I told the students I would make available some of the links.
The first site and most appropriate for this age group is http://www.theholocaustexplained.org/ks3/#.VSWP-tzF9M4
Others are:
