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” Tell’s

how Adolf Hitler set out to rule the world. He came into power in 1933 and
began to promote and encourage “persecution of the jews in germany”.
Starting in 1941, Jewish people were relocated which meant shipped to
concentration camps. In these camps over 2/3 of the Jewish died. He joined
forces with Russia and the Neverlands. When Japan bombed the U.S on
December 7, 1941, the United States entered the war and fought against the
axis powers until September 2 1945 when the war ended.

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

Chapter 2

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

In the book number the stars this picture relates to the book
because the girl says can you read a story to me? the girl says
sure and the girl starts reading a book and the little girl says ¨one
with a king and queen¨ so she started telling one about King
Christian and King Christian's wife.

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 when drawing inferences from the text.

Chapter 4

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:
● The picture relates to the chapter because it says that

the fireworks were just for Kristi on her birthday that
way she didn't get scared
● My second reason for why this book relates to the
chapter is because the girls are going to a ball and they
are going to go to the ball and expecting to watch
fireworks
● The little girl Kristi was pouting because she wanted to
go to the ball to watch the fireworks with her sister.

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

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

Chapter 6

How does this picture relate to the chapter?

My Thoughts:

The picture relates to the picture because in the story the soldiers come
looking for Ellen which is a jew and after a while the soldiers believe them that
ellen is not a ¨jew¨ so they leave and then they are planning to escape that way
they dont get relocated so they call up mama´s brother and papa said that the
