Summary and Analysis: This book was one of my favorite picks for my hook text category. This book gives children the answers as to what global conflict is and how it affects people around the world. I liked this book a lot because it's giving children the view of how others struggle in life and how we can help one another. It has compelling information and beautiful images that will keep the readers engaged. I think this book is great for an introduction into world conflict and to World War 2.

Hook Text: We Disagree by Bethanie Deeney Murguia

Summary and Analysis: This book is about a mouse and a squirrel that can't agree on anything, but they want to become friends. I liked this book a lot because it showed that not everyone is the same as you. It's a creative way to show kids that they may like one thing, but their friends may like something totally different. This book is about accepting the differences that you might have compared to someone else. I thought this would be a great book to use when you are introducing a topic that includes conflict.

Summary and Analysis: This book is about Rita and Ralph who meet and play every day under that apple tree. They create a new game and end up starting a fight that leads them to make it hard to forgive each other. I liked this book because I thought the message behind it was a great addition to the conflict category. I thought the way the illustrations were drawn connected to the story very well.

Hook Text: Talk and Work It Out by Cheri J. Meiners

# data[].attributes.body
Summary and Analysis: This book is about children learning to calm themselves while dealing with conflicts throughout their lives. What I like about this book is that it gives real world problems that the student might experience in their life and allows them to think of solutions as to what they can do in those situations. This book is more for younger kids, but it's a great beginner book that allows them to think about how to resolve conflicts.

World War 2 presentation (slideshare.net)

Summary and Analysis: I chose to include this presentation in my visual texts section because I thought that it was a great introduction as to what World War 2 is about. It states that it is for grade 8, but I believe this presentation is basic enough to include with younger students. It states the what and who were involved in the war and gives dates of important events that happened during the war. In a lesson, I would start with this and then dive into more stories involved into the war. I thought this was a great opener into a lesson plan.

World war 2 presentation for grade 8. WW2

# data[].attributes.body
Summary and Analysis:
This book is about a Jewish boy named Felix. He lived in Poland his whole life and is on a journey to find his book-keep parents after he observes the Nazis burning books from a Catholic orphanage where he stayed for 3 years and 8 months. He then finds a girl named Zelda with her dead parents in a house that is burning. They travel together and tells her stories and protects her. I chose this book for my students because I believe they would enjoy the illustrations and lessons learned throughout the text. Since there is a young boy and girl as our main characters, they could relate to them more and connect to their daily lives. I think I would use this book as a read aloud because of the complexity of topics and understandings throughout the book. I think a class discussion with questions and relations would be a great way to spread awareness of what is happening in the book.

National WWII Museum - Virtual Tour – Joy of Museums Virtual Tours

Summary and Analysis: This visual text is a website I found that is walkthrough contained with pictures of the artifacts and items used in World War 2. I thought this would be a great way to use this text at the end of the lesson so the students can get an idea of what people used during the war. It includes pictures with information about the artifact under the picture. I liked this a lot because I think the students would really enjoy bringing what they learned to life by looking through the walkthrough of this museum.

Target Text: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr

# data[].attributes.body
Summary and Analysis:
This book is based on the authors experience during World War 2. It's about a 9-year-old Jewish girl whose world changes during the war in 1932. Her family ends up escaping Germany and moving to Switzerland. She's upset that she has to leave her friends but ends up finding happiness in the new adventure. Her family looked down upon but try to face those problems head on. This leaves the family to wonder if the Nazis will ever find them again and if they can ever find a permanent home. I chose this book because I thought this was a great way for the students to recognize the conflicts that this family went through in the book. It's important for them to understand why these conflicts rose as they left Germany. I think this would be great as a class read aloud, while turning to a partner and discussing the questions that I ask throughout the book.

Watch a World War 2 Documentary for Children. World War 2 for Kids in Elementary School Cartoon - YouTube

Summary and Analysis: I thought this video was a great one because it's in the form of a cartoon. In the video, it's a conversation between a teacher and his student. Throughout the video, they discussed key details and conflicts that happened in the war. I also liked this video because it was short, so it was good video to summarize the war. I could share this video with the class, and then prepare discussion questions or activities that could start the topic of World War 2.

The Importance Of Friendship - 791 Words | Internet Public Library (ipl.org)

Summary and Analysis:
I chose this essay as an informational text because I thought it discussed the various themes of friendship and the conflict that goes with it. I thought this would be a good introduction to what friendships are about. Then, throughout this unit, we would read books that relate back to how conflicts form within friendships and if the bond is strong enough to last. I think this is a little advanced, so I think fifth grade would be the proper grade level that this text should be discussed at.

Everybody knows people are social individuals that's an old saying though, but that's a very true statement. People need other people to help them with their lives. To support them and their lives. That's why we need a friend. It does not matter if they are older than you, younger than you, does not matter if they are your parents, your grandmother, your nephew, your boss, it never matters in the end of the day. What does matter is the quality of your friends not the quantity of your friends, especially best friend. In some occasions, less is more. Small group of close friends could be better than having a large number of people but not that very close. Sometimes small group of people makes stronger bond, in each one of the members. So, in ...show more content...
We can learn many things about many different kind of things across the world, if we have friends from all over the world. But these kind of friends may not always be there next to us, eventhough the chances are possible. What we need in life is people who are always be there through thick and thin no matter how bad the situation is. They always learn how to escape their problems together, they will never just leave their friends behind, because they care about one another. People who are reliable, responsible, caring, and open-minded, I think, they are actually a good example of best friends. They do not need to be smart, they do not need to be such a rich people, in fact they can be weird, crazy, dumb in a good and fun ways. People are diversity, diversity is people. Everybody has their own different criteria of certain characteristics they need to find a best friend. But I think the most common criteria I could come up with is a friend who is funny and positive, that in the future will always support them and not bad-mouthing about their best friends behind their back. It is also the matter of trustworthiness. People who betray other people, especially in this case best friends are just a major turn off. Because trust values the most in everybody's friendships. If we can't trust other people or be trusted by other people. How could we gain such

World War 2 facts for kids | National Geographic Kids (natgeokids.com)

Summary and Analysis: I chose this article because I felt that each of the facts did a good job at summarizing the war and its main conflicts. I thought that each of the facts could be broken down into discussions. I could create questions and the students can give their opinions based on what they already know about the war and what they want to learn more about.

In September 1939, Britain entered into what would become the world's most devastating war to date. Learn all about the events that changed the lives of millions in our World War 2 facts....
World War 2 facts

1. World War 2 was a battle between two groups of countries

- the " Allies" and the " Axis ". The major Allied Powers were Britain, France, Russia, China and the United States. The major Axis Powers were Germany, Italy and Japan.

(AD)

2. Before World War 2 began, Germany was ruled by a man named Adolf Hitler

Together with the Nazi Party, he wanted Germany to rule Europe. To gain more land and power, on 1 September 1939 German troops invaded Poland. After Hitler refused to stop the invasion, Britain and France declared war on Germany - World War II had begun.

3. During the course of the war, German forces advanced through Europe.

Did you know that we have a FREE downloadable Second World War primary resource? Great for teachers, homeschoolers and parents alike!

4. Millions of Germans were imprisoned and killed because they didn't fit the image of the 'perfect' German

Hitler wanted to create what he thought was the "best" and strongest race - and to the Nazi Party, this excluded certain groups, such as Jews, Gypsies and those with physical and mental disabilities. In an attempt to eliminate a "racial enemy" outside of Germany, such groups were also persecuted in the countries invaded by German forces.

5. The group most heavily targeted by the Nazis were the Jews

Around six million Jewish people were killed during World War 2 in one of history's most terrible events - the Holocaust. Racist in his views, Hitler blamed Jewish people for Germany losing World War I and claimed they were dangerous to German people and society.

6. Around the same time that Germany fought for power in Europe, Japan wanted to control Asia and the Pacific

In 1937 (before World War 2 had officially begun) under Emperor Hirohito, Japan attacked China, bringing the two nations into years of conflict.

7. The US didn't join the war until 1941, when Japan attacked the United States

- at their Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. On 8 December 1941 (the very next day), the US declared War on Japan and, in turn, its German allies.

8. Some countries remained 'neutral' in World War 2

Such countries were Spain, Sweden and Switzerland - who chose not to join either side.

9. The Germans surrendered on 8 May 1945

In 1944, an Allied army crossed from Britain to free France from Nazi rule. One year later, Allied armies invaded Germany, forcing the Germans to surrender. After nuclear attacks on Japan's major cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan also surrendered to Allied forces in August the same year. World War 2 had ended.

10. Around 64 million people died in World War 2

- that's more than the entire population of the United Kingdom.

*Yugoslavia was a country established in 1918 in south-east Europe, which included modern-day Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The U.S. Home Front During World War II - Societal Impact & Economics - HISTORY

Summary and Analysis: I liked this article because it gives views of different types of people experiencing the war. It allows for my students to explore what happened outside of the war while it was happening. I think for this article, I would divide the class into groups and have each group dissect different parts of the article with guiding questions. At the end, each group would discuss what they found (with the teachers help) and share with the entire class.
