Goal
Students will understand and analyze different points-of-view of the events of World War II. Additionally, students will mimic the figurative language used throughout the novel.
What will be done with my students
This novel will be read in conjunction with our textbook collection on the Holocaust. With "The Book Thief", students will be able to understand the events of World War II from a different perspective. "The Book Thief" depicts life for German citizens during World War II and their adaptations to life in Germany during the Holocaust.
Students will have a choice in the final project associated with the novel: a figurative language booklet, a found poem, writing an alternative ending, or an artistic alternate book cover.
Benefits to my students
"The Book Thief" is a difficult read for students in 8th grade. The students will be challenged in their reading ability and comprehension. The figurative language that the author uses in the book is also a useful lesson for students to see beautiful language modeled to imitate in their own writing. They can "steal" writing ideas from "The Book Thief"!
