Building Background
Knowledge

Learning Target: I can compare and contrast two or more
characters, settings, or events in a story, drawing on specific
details in the text.

Background of this Story:
In some countries around the world the government is

called a dictatorship. In a dictatorship, one person or a small
group of people have complete control of the country. In many
cases the military enforces the control. If a person does not
follow the rules, they may be arrested, threatened, scared, or
tortured. The citizens of that country are not allowed to talk or
act against the dictatorship. A person can be rewarded if they
tell the dictatorship about other people who are against the
government.

Interpretive Question: How does the dictatorship
system of government in the story affect Pedro, his
family, and the citizens it governs?

World War II and
the Holocaust

Learning Target: I can provide a summary of the text that
includes the main ideas and key details, as well as other
important information.

Summary of the article:
The article “World War II and the Holocaust” shows

how Adolf Hitler set out to rule the world. He came into power
in 1933 and began to promote and encourage. Starting in
1941, Jewish people were sent to concentration camps. In
these camps over six million jews died. He joined forces with
Japan and Italy. When Japan bombed The United states on
December 7, 1941, the United States entered the war and
fought against the axis powers until September 2 1945 when
the war ended.

Building Background
Knowledge

Learning Target: I can compare and contrast two or more
characters, settings, or events in a story, drawing on specific
details in the text.

Background of this Story:
“For centuries, the Star of David was a symbol of Jewish

pride. But during World War II, Nazis used the Star to
segregate and terrorize the Jewish people. Except in
Denmark. When Nazi soldiers occupied his country, King
Christian X of Denmark committed himself to keeping all
Danes safe from harm. The bravery of the Danes and their
king has inspired many legends. The most enduring is the
legend of the yellow star, which symbolizes the loyalty and
fearless spirit of the king and his people.”

Chapter 2

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

● The picture relates to the story because in the beginning of
the chapter kristi wants to hear anne marie tell a different
story than the one she was actually saying.

● It also relates to the chapter because when Annemarie was
telling the story to kirtsti, she was thinking about the real
town she lived in and how the Nazi soldier were starting to
take over the whole town.

Learning Target: I can determine a theme of a story from details in the text,
including how characters in a story respond to challenges.

Chapter 4

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

● It relates to the chapter because it is like the “fireworks” Kristi saw on
her Birthday.

● It is also like the fireworks Annemarie saw at Tivoli
● Lastly it is like it is like the fireworks that Annemarie was talking about

that are not actually fireworks they are bombs

Learning Target: I can compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or
events in a story, drawing on specific details in the text.

Chapter 6

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

● Annemarie’s father misses cigarettes as much as mama misses coffee
● Annemarie's uncle also misses cigarettes
● In the text it says”and she will bringing cigarettes
● Also in the text it says”the men in his office, he said making a face,

smoked almost anything:something dried weeds rolled in paper, and the
smell was terrible
● Also Annemarie’s father referred to ellen as a pack of cigars.

Chapter 12-13

How does this text relate to Number the stars and
particularly Annemarie in chapter 13?

My Thoughts:

● Annemarie was being a leader like the man in the red bandana because
she let her mother lean on her when her mother broke her ankle.

● Another way is Annemarie said to her mother that she would take the
packet Mr. Rosen dropped to him by herself.
