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” This is

how Adolf Hitler set out to rule the world. He came into power
in 1933 and began to rule. Starting in 1941, Jewish people
were shipped to concentration camps. In these camps over
six million people died. He joined forces with Japan and Italy.

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:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
● King Christian X lived in a place called Amalienborg, in the

center of Copenhagen.
● Each morning, he had come from his palace on his horse

and rid alone greeting his people to the day.
● King Christian was getting old and had been badly injured

last year in a fall from his horse, who had carried him
through Copenhagen for so many mornings.

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)

booms.

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
The picture is related to the chapter because when Annemarie found her
mama, she was badly hurt, just like the people in the burning building.
Annemarie had to be brave and helped her mama back to uncle Henrik’s
house. And in the red bandana, the man carried a women out of the building

because she was to scared to move.
