WEEK 7: THE STORY OF ANNE FRANK
TOPIC 2:
Write a persuasive essay/editorial on whether on not the story of Anne Frank and The Holocaust should be taught in middle school. Should it be saved for high school when students are more mature? Do think the material is appropriate? Would students be able to handle it better when they are older? Should it be taught in both middle and high school? Is it important to learn about it at all? Why? Your essay should persuade the reader to agree with your perspective by including three supporting ideas. Each supporting idea should be fully explained in its own paragraph.
INSTRUCTIONS
Choose one of the following topics.
TOPIC 1: Imagine that you are a newspaper reporter who happens on the scene of the Frank family being arrested. Write a newspaper article about the event. You will have interviewed witnesses on the scene, some of whom will be anti-Jewish while others will be sympathetic. You may write the article from the perspective of either a pro-Nazi newspaper or a Dutch paper sympathetic to the plight of the Jewish people. Remember to include an attention-getting headline and opening statement.
TOPIC 3:
Create an epitaph for Anne that captures her outlook on life. Then write a eulogy that expresses what you think were her finest personal characteristics. You must deliver this eulogy to the class as if you were speaking at a memorial ceremony for her. You may pretend that you are Mr. Frank, Miep, or anyone who knew her who survived. (See me for help on how to write an epitaph and eulogy).
