PRESENTATION:
(Language and content objectives, comprehensible input, strategies, interaction, feedback)
-Create a word wall with both pictures and definitions of key vocabulary used in the "Diary of a
Young Girl." We will create the word wall by showing the pictures to the student and then placing
them on the wall for the student to continue to refer back to throughout the lesson and the entire
story. We will present the pictures indiviudally to the student. When the student looks at each
picture, we will ask the student to describe the pictures and what they understand to be
happening in the picture. We will then provide the student with the definiton of the word and
move on to the next picture.
Directions: I will show you a picture. You will then describe the picture to me, and then we will go
over the word and definition that goes along with each picture.

PRACTICE AND APPLICATION:

(Meaningful activities, interaction, strategies, practice and application, feedback)
Word Splash- Create a word splash of the four new vocabulary words. To create a word splash, we
will present the four vocabulary words on the Smart Board. We will then ask the student to try to
make a sentence that uses at least two of the vocabulary words. We will tell the student to use
the defintions of the words as a guide to write at least two sentences using the new vocabulary
words.

REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT:

(Review objectives and vocabulary, assess learning)
-On an index card, students will write one of the vocabulary words and a symbol to accompany
that word on one side of the card. We will tell the student to think of and draw a symbol or a
picture that will remind the student of the definition of the word. We will then ask the student to
explain why they choose the symbol and how it connects to the vocabulary word outloud when
the student has completed her four pictures.

EXTENSION:
-The student will be writing a journal entry for homework. We will read an example of one of the
journal entries from the "Diary of a Young Girl" that includes the new vocabulary word,
"concentration camp." After reading the journal, the student will write a journal entry as if they
were living in World War II Germany.Use at least 3 of new vocabulary words in your journal. The
student will share her journal entry.
