Lesson Description:
The students will use prior knowledge about Anne Frank in hiding, along with details read by the teacher, to generate ideas of what the "Secret Annex" might have looked like. They will share these ideas
orally in class. They will add to or build on their own ideas. They will then use these ideas to illustrate, in detail, their interpretation of what the Annex looked like. Finally, they will use their ideas,
notes, and illustrations to write a descriptive (expository) essay describing the Secret Annex in detail. They will be expected to use proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization and grammar appropriate to
standards. In addition, they will be told that they will be scored according to the 6--point writing rubric and reminded that their essays be fully developed accordingly.
