= Welcome to Wiki With Wyers =

I am Mary Wyers, and I am an English language arts teacher. I am currently a reading intervention teacher at Simmons Middle School in Hoover, Alabama. I am also an adjunct professor at The University of Alabama in Birmingham in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction for the School of Education.

I am developing a unit of study for eighth graders for the drama version of **//The Diary of Anne Frank//**.



[]

=drama version of //The Diary of Anne Frank// =  Prior to reading, I will have the students enter the classroom, instruct them to put their books on their desk and go and sit silently without moving in a small, taped-off area in the middle of the room. I will refuse to answer any immediate questions and remind them that they will receive a zero for the day if they do not cooperate, make a sound or movement. After 2-3 minutes, I instruct the students to return to their desks. I will lead a discussion: How did you feel when you had no "voice" or opinion in this matter? Was it fair that I would punish you with a zero for the day if you spoke or made movement? Why or why not? What could you do to make your voice known? Then, I will use an anticipation guide with the clickers as a pre-reading strategy.

I want to read the drama from the text, have the students read a second novel on the topic of the Holocaust, blog with another 8th grade language arts class across the U.S. by discussing their reactions to reading the drama version, have a Holocaust survivor come in to speak, show an online tour of the Anne Frank house, show excerpts from the Anne Frank movie, read excerpts from the actual diary, and do a cumulating project that requires the students to enter the creative writing contest "Imagining the Holocaust".

 //[|Paper Clips] .// Another source you might find helpful and of interest is a book called _We Are Witnesses: Five Diaries of Teenagers Who Died In The Holocaust_ by Jacob Boas. It includes a section on Anne Frank, but it also includes four other teenagers' perspectives as well.

Questions: Goals: Objectives: **Course of Study:** The learner will use language to express individual perspectives through analysis of personal, social, cultural, and historical issues.
 * What kind of personal losses (other than death) did the victims of the Holocaust experience?
 * What was living through the Holocaust like?
 * What kind of adjustment period was there for survivors of the Holocaust when they got home?
 * What were the events leading up to the Holocaust?

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**Nonfiction Title Annotation / Rationale / Content Connection:** <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">//The Diary of a Young Girl// is a book that contains Anne Frank's diary that she wrote when she was a young adolescent. At the time, she was in hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Her diary entries are very emotional, powerful, and vivid. Therefore, the reader is able to imagine what life was like for Anne during such a difficult time.

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"> I chose this book because I think that it would be a great choice for a middle school language arts classroom. I feel that middle school students would be able to identify with Anne Frank since she was around the same age as them when she wrote the diary. I think middle school students will enjoy being able to read about Anne since her diary gives them a first hand look into her life. The diary also shows students a form of writing and may encourage them to start keeping their own diary. This book would be good to use in conjunction with journals in the language arts classroom. I also think this book would be a great and interesting way to learn about the events of World War II as well as the Nazis and concentration camps. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #002bb8; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"> //Another nonfiction text that could be paired with it is// Zlata's Diary //-- about a young girl living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (1991-1993). I'll also bring in a nonfiction collection of other adolescent diary entries from the Holocaust.//

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**AFTER-READING STRATEGIES** <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**Retellings:** I think this after-reading strategy would work the best for this book because students will probably have a lot of thoughts after reading the personal stories in Anne Frank's diary. I think allowing them to discuss what they read in small groups or even as a whole class would help them to better understand the diary and make sense of what is going on. It also may help them to make some personal connections to Anne's story. When I tried this strategy, it really made me put what happened into my own words. Since I was able to do that, it let me know that I was comprehending what I read. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">**Sketch to Stretch:** I think this strategy would work great with this book as well. I would love to see what kinds of illustrations students would come up with after reading Anne's diary and how they chose to capture part of the text as a drawing.

a Writing Competition for Middle School & Senior-High School Students Sponsored by the English Department of Jacksonville State University

"Why teach Holocaust history?" is a question that several professors at Jacksonville State University have struggled to answer. "Imagining the Holocaust" is one way we are attempting to teach Holocaust history and its importance to our daily lives because by teaching about Holocaust history we can learn about ourselves.

To this end, interested English faculty at JSU developed the idea of "Imagining the Holocaust," a writing contest designed to teach Holocaust history and its continuing influence in today's world to middle school and high school students in the state of Alabama. The competition is open to many kinds of writing, from essays to more creative approaches in poetry and fiction. Entries are due each spring, and prizes, including U.S. Savings Bonds worth $100, $75, and $50 to the top three winners in each category, will be awarded. Please use the following links to find out more information and download guidelines and entry forms (free Acrobat Reader needed, available for download [|here] ):

Here’s what I have so far:
 * Film footage of Anne Frank – Filmed in celebration of a neighbor’s wedding in July of 1941, shortly before the Frank family went into hiding, this is the only footage of Anne Frank.
 * We Remember Anne Frank – Scholastic’s unit includes interviews with Miep Gies, the loyal employee of the Frank family. Lessons are arranged by grade level, starting with grade 3.
 * Anne Frank, Writer – From EDSITEment (National Endowment for the Humanities), this site scaffolds their lessons and provides resources for connecting Anne’s story to other examples of racism and exclusion.
 * Anne Frank – Lessons in Humanity and Dignity – Provides activities for school and home.
 * Anne Frank Received Her Famous Diary in 1942 - From ReadWriteThink!, the unit introduces students to the importance of first-hand accounts in understanding historical events.
 * Diary of Anne Frank, the movie – PBS provides a Teacher’s Guide to accompany the DVD (which you can order from the site). The site also includes the Take Action page, a listing of projects and activities for empowering students to make a difference. In the current test-driven climate, all too often the reading of powerful stories ends with the “what,” and students are not moving on to explore the next two components, so essential to meaningful learning: “so what” and “now what.”
 * Anne Frank Timeline – Part of the Secret Annex Online site, the timeline provides background and compelling images from Anne’s story, starting in 1914.

The Nazis killed over 5 million Jews, including 1.5 million children. There were approximately 3 million Jews left in Europe out of the over 9 million who lived there before the Holocaust. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">As soon as Hitler took power in 1933, the German government passed laws to remove Jewish people’s rights as citizens. Ultimately, in German-occupied Europe, the Jews were forced by law to live in specific zones within the cities, called ghettos. From there, the Nazis moved many Jews to labor camps and death camps. In addition to Jewish people, the Nazis targeted other minority groups.

Description from Publisher

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's wrenching attempt to find meaning in the horror of the Holocaust is technically a novel, but it's based so closely on his own experiences in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald that it's generally--and not inaccurately--read as an autobiography. Like Wiesel himself, the protagonist of //Night// is a scholarly, pious teenager racked with guilt at having survived the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died.

Description from Amazon.com || The Night Trilogy : Night, Dawn, the Accident By Elie Wiesel || Wiesel's The Night Trilogy has a different effect to each of its readers. This book is filled with many metaphors and symbolic phrases. Each one being traced back to the death of those who were close to the narrator.

Description from Publisher || Tell Them We Remember : The Story of the Holocaust || One and a half million children and teenagers were murdered by the Nazis. This photo-history, produced in association with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, focuses on what happened to young people whose world of family and friends, school and play, was destroyed. More than 30 short, accessible chapters cover the general history, including the rise of Hitler, the ghettos, the transports, the camps, the gas chambers, and the movements of resistance and rescue. Sidebars tell the ongoing stories of individual young people and show their ID photos; some of the individuals are pictured several times during the period 1933-45, but many don't survive. The writing is direct, with no histrionics or gimmicks. A wealth of material drawn from the museum's large collection of photographs and taped oral and video histories supports the facts. The systematic murder is confronted here. We're told of the brutality, the medical experiments, and the corpses stacked up like cordwood, and there are pictures of the death marches and the gas chambers. The Jews were the main target of Nazi hatred, but throughout the book, Bachrach also talks about other groups and individualsincluding Gypsies, homosexuals, and the disabledwho were marked as enemies of the state. The book's design is clear, with a spacious chronology at the back, a long bibliography, subdivided by genre and reading level, and an appendix of population figures by country.

This is one of the best books available for introducing the subject to young people and an excellent text for the Holocaust curriculum now required in many states.
