Anne Frank Unit Webquest Link

Statement of Inquiry:  Historical contexts and author's perspective affects readers' interpretations of the concept of truth.

As we begin our IB unit on Anne Frank's Impact on Today's World, many of you have questions related to World War II, the Holocaust and Anne Frank's life.  To discover some of those answers, and to come up with even more questions, you will be completing a webquest with 5 tasks.  See the link below for access to the site.  The project requires you complete the research packet and journal responses.

Hopefully this research and reflection will bring you closer to understanding the haunting "truth" of this time period.

Bradbury Project Idea Starters

Students have been asking for sample projects to see what they might do for the "pink sheet" project.  Well, they don't necessarily exist because this is the first time we've ever done this project at HMS! :)
What I can tell you is that your project (however you plan on delivering it--poster, power point, video, skit, song, comic, etc.) you need to reference and include the following: figurative language, author's theme, and author's style.

Comment below if you still have questions after reading this post and looking at the samples.

Here are various Bradbury-esque projects that other people have done to get you inspired:
