Number The Stars By: Lois Lowery

Summary: Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend

Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life

in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers

marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated,"

Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family.

Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.

Soldier's Farewell

I've saddled up, and dropped me hooch,

I'm going to take the gap,

my Tour of Duty's over mates,

and I won't be coming back.

I'm done with diggin' shell scrapes

and laying out barbed wire,

I'm sick of setting Claymore Mines,

and coming under fire.

So no more Fire Support Base,

and no more foot patrols,

and no more eating ration packs,

and sleepin' in muddy holes.

I've fired my last machine gun,

and ambushed my last track,

I'm sick of all the Army brass,

and I sure ain't coming back.

I'll hand my bayonet to the clerk,

he ain't seen one before,

and clean my rifle one more time,

and return it to the store.

So no more spit and polish,

and make sure I get paid,

and sign me from the Regiment,

today's my last parade.

- Mike Subritzky, 161 Bty RNZA

Social Studies

You've got to climb the hill, boys;

It's no use turning back.

There's only one way home, boys,

And it's off the beaten track.

Remember you're American,

And when you reach the crest,

You'll see a valley cool and green,

Our country at its best.

You know there is a saying

That sunshine follows rain,

And sure enough you'll realize

That joy will follow pain.

Let courage be your password,

Make fortitude your guide;

And then instead of grousing,

Just remember those who died.

- Anonymous

Can You Take It?

It's easy to be nice, boys

When everything's O.K.

It's easy to be cheerful,

When your having things your way.

But can you hold your head up

And take it on the chin.

When your heart is breaking

And you feel like giving in?

It was easy back in England,

Among the friends and folks.

But now you miss the friendly hand,

The joys, and songs, and jokes.

The road ahead is stormy.

And unless you're strong in mind,

You'll find it isn't long before

You're dragging far behind.

Students will research a leader from WWII and create a speech for a presidential election.

Writing activities

Students will get into groups of 5 and create a reenactment of a battle, conflict or scene from WWII

Creative arts

Students will create posters with slogans for WWII

Students will do an informational writing activity. In this activity they will pretend to interview a nazi or a U.S. soldier. In their writing they need to use at least 5 words from the word wall.

Students will create chants and dances for cheering on the U.S. during the war

Children's Literature

Students will paint a picture of what they imagine Pearl Harbor as 1 hour after the attack

Connecting across

the curriculum

Newspaper Articles from events leading up to WWII, during WWII and after.

Students will create a persuasive poster. They can do a persuasive poster on persuading people to join Hitler's group or they can create a poster persuading people to join the military due to Pearl Harbor.

Snow Treasure By: Marie McSwigan

Summary: In the bleak winter of 1940, Nazi troops parachuted into Peter Lindstrom's

tiny Norwegian village and held it captive. Nobody thought the Nazis could be

defeated--until Uncle Victor told Peter how the children could fool the enemy.

It was a dangerous plan. They had to slip past Nazi guards with nine million dollars

in gold hidden on their sleds. It meant risking their country's treasure--and their lives.

This classic story of how a group of children outwitted the Nazis and sent the treasure

to America has captivated generations of readers.

Math activities

Students will write a "I am..." poem. They can write their poem from the point of view of a soldier, victim, captive, wife at home, child whose father is fighting, or a leader such as Hitler, Roosevelt or Truman.

Students will solve word problems related to WWII that involve adding, subtracting, multiplication and division.

Students will be given data and insert it into appropriate tables and graphs while labeling them appropriately.

Vocabulary activities

Journals/Learning logs

Semantic mapping: students will use this to group material covered in the WWII unit so they can have their information organized for their writing activities.

Talk activities

Listening/Viewing Center

and

Ideas for interviews

After my students have done the listening center they will then be instructed to write a reading journal. Their reading journal topic will be to reflect on the audio/video they watched at the listening center and give 2 facts, 2 things they learned and 2 responses to things the people in the videos said about their experience.

This audio/video clip is an interview with

a native Guam World War II survivor.

110 year old WWII survivor speaks

One talking activity my class will participate in is a thematic unit discussion. In this discussion students will draw a topic out of a cup. I will then set the timer for 5 minutes. In that 5 minutes the class will discuss the topic and be able to hear different point of views.

Word knowledge rating: I will give students a list of the word wall terms before I begin the unit. Students will rate themselves on their knowledge of these words. Once I have completed the unit students will rate themselves again on the same terms and see how well they have improved.

Field Trips

WWII memorial in Washington D.C.

Students will participate in an oral history project and interview grandparents and older community members that were involved or affected by WWII

Pearl Harbor in Hawaii

My students will also write a double-entry journal. In this journal entry they will take a sheet of paper, fold it in half and write in the left column quotes from the audio/video that they watched in the listening center. They will then write in the right column how those quotes impacted them and made them feel. By doing this double-entry journal I want students to put themselves in the situation and mindset that these people were in.

Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA

The class will take part in a debate. Half of the class will be under Hitler's ruling and the other half will be U.S. citizens who are angered at the bombing on Pearl Harbor and want revenge.

I would have these audio and video clips at the listening centers in my classroom. Students would listen to these clips with headphones at the class computers. After they listened and viewed these clips they would have a worksheet to fill in the blank.

Projects for students

Visually representing activities

Students will create posters advertising for one of the following: joining the army, being a military wife (duties that need to be done), training, religious movements, support groups.

-Students will create different types of diagrams. They will create a timeline of the events that occurred before, during and after WWII.

-Students will be given a world map and will draw arrows from location to location giving details of what happened at each place they label on the map.

-Students will create pie charts showing the lives lost in different battles, war, ratios of ethnic cultures, etc.

Students will draw newspaper cartoons during the time period of WWII.

Student will research life during WWII and create a slide show of images from the time.

Word Wall

Students will dress up as a person from some aspect of WWII and give a brief monologue.
