Number the Stars is about a young girl who works to protect her best friend from the Nazi Party. It is set in Denmark where 99% of the Jewish population escaped during the Nazi occupation during WWII. I have shared several links below that are also in the student's google classroom. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/rescue-in-denmark?series=21826 https://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/timeline/resist.htm https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/hidden-children-hardships https://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/resource/gallery/ghetart.htm Targets: Students will: know the difference between fact and opinion *be able to make inferences and understand symbolism *support inferences with evidence from the text *know the academic terms *be able to build vocabulary independently *use concrete facts, quotes and develop a topic in their writing *know how to distinguish between a claim and a finding *deliver a presentation *be able to sequence ideas logically *use eye contact and speak clearly and loudly *be able to provide a strong conclusion Vocabulary: Contempt (p. 3) Sabotage (p. 8) Resistance (p. 7-8) Impassive (p. 10) Errand (p. 13) Trousseau (p. 14) Intricate (P. 14) Engagement (p. 16) Unruly (p. 20) Sarcastically (p. 21) Swastika (p. 21) Torment (p. 24) Sophisticated (p. 27) Disdainfully (p. 29) Fleet (p. 32) Synagogue (p. 33) Imperious (p. 39) Contentedly (p. 43) Rationed (p. 43) Tentatively (p. 50) Distorted (p. 55) Exasperation (p. 57) Awe (p. 60) Hazy (p. 62) Appliquéd (p. 65) Relocated (p. 68) Mock (p. 71) Dismay (p. 71) Deftly (p. 75) Hearse (p.. 77) Mourning (p. 77) Reluctantly (p. 78) Staccato (p. 83) Condescending (p. 84) Typhus (p. 85) Encased (p. 89) Godspeed (p. 93) Commotion (p. 93) Gnarled (p. 97) Gleam (p. 98) Dimness (p. 99) Sprawling (p. 102) Vast (p. 103) Stricken (p. 104) Donned (p. 106) Latticed (p. 106) Brusque (p. 110) Taut (p. 112) Willed (p. 113) Insolently (p. 117) Caustic (p. 118) Warily (p. 120) Concealed (p. 124) Raided (p. 130) Rejoicing (p. 124) Literary Devices: Allusion, Personification, Cliffhanger, Flashback Vocabulary~ Roles People Played: Victims, perpetrators, bystanders, resisters, rescuers, liberators, survivors Spelling Bee 2018-2019: The Chequamegon Bee will take place on Wednesday, January 23rd from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Glidden Campus Gymnasium.
