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?

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.”

response to the yellow Star order in the story
affect the citizens of Denmark?

Chapter 2

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form
On page 15 the sentence said “ sometimes I wonder why the
king can’t protect us?” I choose this because in the picture
it looks like the king is telling the person something and the
person looks surprised. Next is page 16 the sentence it said

King christian was getting old and he had been badly
injured last year in a fall from his horse” it looks like he is
telling his soldier that.

Learning Target: I can determine a theme of a story from details in the text,

My Thoughts:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
● What I thought in the book was when Suzie Q woke up from the loud sound

she thought it was fireworks what I thought was I thought it was a bomb.
● My second thought was it was just fireworks because in the book it says “ it’s

there new year” because it said that.

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:

(Can be expressed in bulleted points or paragraph form)
This picture can relate to chapter 6 because in the book it said “ I’m sending
