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” proves

how Adolf Hitler set out to rule the world. He came into power
in 1933 and began to “promote and encourage prosecution of
the jews in germany”. Starting in 1941, Jewish people were
relocated. In these camps over 6 millions died. He joined
forces with Japan and Italy. When Japan bombed Pearl
Harbor 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.”

Learning Target: I can quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text

Chapter 2

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

This picture relates to the book because in the chapter Annemarie
tells a story about a king and a queen in a beautiful castle. In the

text it said, “ Once upon a time there was a king,” Annemarie
began. “And a queen”. This shows that she was talking about a
king and a queen in the chapter. The book relates to the picture in

many ways but that was only one of them.

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:
The chapter relates to the picture because in the book there
is a place called Tivoli when they are playing with dolls and
it is were you dance and watch the fireworks. In the book it

said, “ we shall go to Tivoli to dance and watch the
fireworks”.This proves that there is a place called Tivoli were

you dance and watch fireworks.

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:

This picture relates to the chapter because in the book when papa
calls Henrik he says he is going to send Inge and a carton of

cigarettes. In the book when they said a carton of cigarettes its was
code for Ellen. In the text it said, “I’m sending Inge to you today with the
children, and she will be bringing you a carton of cigarettes… What was
mama really taking her. Then she knew. It was Ellen.” You can find all of

this chapter 6, page 53!

Chapter 12-13

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

My Thoughts:

This picture relates to the book because the man is pointing a way out for the
trapped people in the tower and in the book Mama is also leading Ellen and

her family somewhere so the Nazi soldier won’t find and relocate Ellen and her
family.
