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 harassment.
Starting in 1941, Jewish people were taken to camps. In
these camps over 1000 died. He joined forces with France
and Britain. When Britain bombed Pearl Harbor on January 7,
1941, the United States entered the war and fought against
the England powers until 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:

My thought’s for how the picture relates to the chapter is the story
Annemarie told Kirsty a story about a king. It says” Once apon a

time there was a king”. It also says” And a queen. They lived
together in a wonderful palace”. In that picture it shows a king and

a queen. That is how this picture relates to this chapter.

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

Learning Target: I can quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text
says explicitly and whendrawing inferences from the text.

Chapter 4

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
This picture relates to the chapter because it says. “Kristy drew herself up,
her small shoulders stiff. I did to she said belligerently. It was my birthday. I woke up
in the night and I could hear the booms. And there were lights in the sky. Mama said
it was fireworks for my birthday!” With this it says there were fireworks (that were not
real fireworks) and in the picture it shows fireworks. This is how the picture relates to
the chapter.

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:

Inthe book, number the stars, the picture relates to the chapter because in the book
it says,”I’m sending Inge with you today with the children, and she will be bringing
you a carton of cigarettes. Yes just one he said, after a moment.” that is how the

picture relates to the chapter.

Chapter 12-13

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

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
I think the text The Man In The Red Bandanna relates to Annemarie in
chapter 13 because she was really brave just like the man in the red bandanna.
Also I think it relates to Annmarie because they acted like they were not
scared and was calm. Also I think they relate because they both saved
people’s lives. They saved people’s lives because in the book the man in the
red bandanna he saved a lot of people’s lives and in number the stars
Annemarie saved her friend Ellen’s life. Also Annemarie saved some people’s
lives that she didn’t even know and the man in the red bandanna saved
people’s lives that he didn’t know. This shows that the man in the red
bandanna and Annemarie are alike.
