Description This unit is developed around the experience portrayed
in the diary that was written by Anne Frank during the
period she and her family were in hiding as a result of
the Nazi persecution of the Jews. The purpose of this
unit is to involve students in the discovery of the
importance of this period of history and the impact it
had on individuals and particular groups of people.
The students will examine persecution and its results.
Through the activities in the lessons, they will more
fully understand the setting in which Anne and her family
were hiding and the reasons they found it necessary to go
into hiding. The students will use the Internet,
multimedia software and traditional library references
as research tools and computer technology to generate
graphs and presentations.
The 21st Century Tools Computers with Internet access, a software program that includes an atlas, a computer based graphing program such as Microsoft Excel, a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, and a presentation program such as Microsoft PowerPoint.
