This fourth grade thematic unit on World War II and the Holocaust will highlight the novel "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry. This Language Arts unit will be taught in conjunction with a history/social studies unit on the same topic. During this thematic unit, students will have the opportunity to engage in many pre-reading and post-reading activities to help strengthen comprehension and interact with the text historically, imaginatively, and creatively. Students will complete many reading strategies throughout the study of this text that will lead ultimately to a creative writing lesson where the class with create an epilogue for the characters in the story using the five stages of the writing progress (Tompkins, 2016).
