For this hinge activity, students will be making a diptych. A piece of art is made up of two panels or components that come together to form a single piece. These can be placed next to one another or secured together. For this purpose, students on one side have to create the POV of Bruno's world, and on the other side, create the POV of Shmuel's world. By doing this art project, students will graphically depict the disparate worlds of Bruno and Shmuel, improving their comprehension of the characters' varied experiences during World War II.

Students can make a collage using sequences from their novel that contain important details related to World War II events as part of one of the hinge activities. The students will search for any text, pictures, or other visuals related to what they observed or learnt during the field trip. Everything they discovered will be assembled onto a collage to establish a visual link between these incidents and the story and characters in the book. Students will gain from making this collage because it will make it easier for them to understand how WWII affected both the lives of the book's characters and themselves. They are more able to comprehend how the characters' experiences are shaped by the war background. Students will be more engaged and in touch with their creative side as a result of this.

I love the idea that you had of creating a collage. Allowing creative freedom while being content based in a classroom will surely keep your students engaged throughout the lesson and activity. I also think a really cool idea would be to put all the individual collages together to make one huge classroom collage. This can show that the class is united under a great classroom community and be connected to the events of WWII the same way that so many different people came together to stop Hitler. :)

What a powerful book you selected. I think the Hinge collage art tremendously supports your unit plan. I can even see this book being used in a Venn diagram where you can compare the book to the movie and see the differences and comparison. I had no idea what a diptych was so thank you for expanding my knowledge about this. I think the fishbowl activity you added was amazing and I can see this being a successful unit.
