Holocaust Booktalks - Middle

[Karen Perry <perryk@UNCG.EDU>]

I found a neat use for one of the posters I picked up at AASL from
Blackbirch Press.  It is a Timeline of the Holocaust.

When I do booktalks for that unit in grade 6 or 8, I place little stickers
with the titles of the books I am talking about on the timeline.  For
example:  The Devil in Vienna goes on 1938, Man From the Other Side goes
on 1942.  Non-fiction titles and biographies I also try to place, then I
give the poster to the teacher to hang in the classroom for a week or so
while students are reading their books.

This helps students place historical fiction into real world
events.
