During the next few weeks, students will be working in literature circles ("lit circles"), which are a bit like book clubs. They'll be reading and discussing a variety of novels and non-fiction books. Every book is focused on the Holocaust, and this week, we're gaining background information and basic vocabulary to deepen the lit circle discussions. Here are some of the books students are reading:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
Maus by Art Spiegleman
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen
I'm looking forward to some great discussions!
