Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl Writing Prompts - Videos & Journal Topics
This ready-to-use resource will help your students make connections to their reading of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. Students will watch a short video clip on YouTube that relates to a topic, theme, or idea presented in the diary. A related journal prompt is included, and students share their thoughts and ideas in writing. The videos are not all specific to the diary but relate in a way that allows students to make a text-to-self or text-to-world connection or share an opinion or their thoughts on a related topic.
This is included in a unit plan:
