https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex Write a thoughtful reflection. What did you learn? What surprised you? How does it help you understand the play better? en-us 2023-05-10 18:47:21 UTC 2023-05-11 18:56:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4d6.png https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587348896 I learned and it surprised me how little room there is in there like- I knew it was a tiny space but most of those rooms even the bedrooms look like storage closets you would forget even exists! (which might be good for their case but still). It now helps me understand that everyone is a LOT more cramped than I thought...😰]]> 2023-05-11 14:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587348896 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587350258 Something that surprised me was how small the space actually was. All of the bedrooms were really tiny and the beds were extremely small and it is just very small for how many people are living there. This helped me understand the play better because when they describe some parts of the attic or even talk about how they have no food or space it makes more sense now. ]]> 2023-05-11 14:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587350258 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587350708 I thought the rooms would be bigger but they were all really small that's something that really surprised me that they fit two families and an extra persson.]]> 2023-05-11 14:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587350708 kaseyknecht https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587351077 I learned that the annex was tiny and cramped. Practically every room had a bed in it I also learned that the secret annex was kind of hiding in plain sight and I am shocked that the annex is still there. I also think it is smart at the same time because it seems so obvious and dumb that I think that may be how they stayed hidden for so long. It helps me understand the play because it gives me a proper visual of how big the annex was. And I don't think I could spend more than a month in there.]]> 2023-05-11 14:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587351077 meliamebrown https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587353159 It gave me a better thought of how small this place was, and what it looked like. the rooms were so small and cramped,and the whole place had little to no lighting. and the way the rooms were connected, it was almost like a maze almost. and the rooms looked like a closet. honestly i knew it was going to be small but that was tiny.]]> 2023-05-11 15:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587353159 brysonsymonds https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587354723 While exploring the annex i saw that it looked really crammed and kinda had tight spaces. Some of the rooms seemed really narrow and the walls looked kinda close together. It also looked like some of the reason they weren't able to have as much room was because they didn't have a closet or anything to put their stuff in. So there bags and everything were in the way taking up space making the room smaller.]]> 2023-05-11 15:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587354723 rubythompson5 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587355654 I learned that they're place has a bunch of rooms just not that much space in each one and, that everything is still there like right now and, they are really rude to Anne and she's just thirteen, what surprised me is that that they lived in there for a bunch of time and they aren't claustrophobic yet.]]> 2023-05-11 15:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587355654 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587356260 It helps me understand why they fight it also helps me visuals the rooms when im listening to the play. How did Anne and her father dance in the room if there isn't room. I kind of thought there was room like not enough room but they still have space to move around. ]]> 2023-05-11 15:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587356260 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587357066 Something that surprised me was how small the beds were. I get that they had to be small, because of the rooms being small, but it really shocked me that they were so small. This helps me understand the play more because when they talk about not having space and getting mad at each other all the time I get why. Being cramped in that space with two family and a stranger would not be fun.]]> 2023-05-11 15:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587357066 brooklynkeele https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587359813 Something that surprised me was how they could barley walk but they has to walk without shoes. BU also their beds were so small and they didn't really have space and then letting them add someone they don't even know and did know they barley had room for them kinda shocked me.]]> 2023-05-11 15:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587359813 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587364079 I was surprised at how fast they turned on each other. after a week they were already sick of living with another. I learned that standards were very different in the 40s and 50s. The play is trying to take it back to the time period it is set in.]]> 2023-05-11 15:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587364079 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587365948 something that surprised me was how small it was and they didn't have any shower and they couldn't talk from 8am to 6pm and even then they really couldn't and how big the house was and there wasn't enough room and the solders didnt relize they were there for 2 years ]]> 2023-05-11 15:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587365948 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587366287 Something I learned was that they don't have a shower in the annex and that got me thinking after like 5 months it would be quite gross after awhile.

IDK how 8 people stayed in there for 2 years. they had to use water to flush the toilet because flushing it normally was too loud. they couldn't talk in the daytime. they didn't have that much food.]]> 2023-05-11 16:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587446156 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587448046 I learned that it is very very small it surprised me that almost all that could fit in the rooms was a bed or two and a desk. The rooms are more decorated then I thought they would be tho I thought it would be only a bed and plan walls but some of the walls have like posters on them. There is only one bathroom for 8 people and it is very very small. This helps me picture how living there really is because now I can actually see how small it is. ]]> 2023-05-11 16:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587448046 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587448529 the thing that stood out the most was how they really could not do anything because they risked death if they made one simple mistake which is really scary because that would lead to all of there deaths ]]> 2023-05-11 16:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587448529 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587450635 i was surprised that it was that small and how did they all fit in that it looks like it is to small for 8 people and all of the rooms are combined sorta like the kitchen is in a bedroom and stuff and it is crazy that the van daz family had the biggest room of all of them]]> 2023-05-11 16:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587450635 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587450970 While I looked around I saw that it was tiny and crammed and like the poor people didn't have like anyy privacy they were all crammed into little rooms with little space to move around. There is litterly no room anywhere and the bed are tiny like what. I don't kn ow how they were able to survive.with that tiny amount of space like thats so hard.

They couldn't shower because there was no shower and they couldn't talk most of the time because people would hear them and, none of them could sleep because they were afraid. They attic was like the biggest room and no one could sleep in it because it wasn't suitable to sleep in well actually live in.]]> 2023-05-11 16:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587456799 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587457881 I learned some interesting things about the annex they stayed in. Its a nice annex and is very exciting to look at. Surprisingly Anne would spy out the window which is weird. Also the VanDaan's room they were in, Peter's room was right in it also where Anne had her first kiss with Peter. Its not as small of a place I pictured it as. Honestly though its very cute. Even if its small for 8 people to live in.]]> 2023-05-11 16:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587457881 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587460282 I learned that Annes condition is very tight and uncomfortable. She has such a small living space and very strict rules to live in it. The smallest room in the Secret Annex is peters that wouldnt even be considered a room due to it bein a size of the staircase well. It is indcredible how many people can keep quite and hide for a very long time during the war.]]> 2023-05-11 16:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587460282 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587464721 The Annex was very confusing and smaller that i thought it was going to be. The toilet was kinda zesty and it was interesting to see how they lived and what some if the items meant to them there also wasn't a shower which is gross. ]]> 2023-05-11 16:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587464721 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587465392 One thing that really surprised me was that the rooms were really small.

I also learned they didn't have shower so it probably stinked really bad like a dead fish souffle dunked in a skunk stink gland. ]]> 2023-05-11 17:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587540284 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587540811 The thing that really surprised me was how the Annex was so small and compacted that made it confusing where to go. I learned that there are no hallways each room leads to another room by just a door. This helped me understand the Annex much more because I can see what it really looked like instead of just guessing what it looked like.]]> 2023-05-11 17:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587540811 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587545507 its pretty crazy to me how they lived for two years but i do feel like the attic could have been used. there is stuff up there and i think at least 1 person could have stayed up there.]]> 2023-05-11 17:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587545507 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587547713 In Hermann and Auguste's room i think they all could have slept or lived in there the reason i think this is how small their beds were and they all could have fit if they got rid of that table ]]> 2023-05-11 17:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587547713 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587547955 The thing that surprised me the most is how much room there was. when you hear about all of it it sounds a lot bigger than it really is.

But the room where very small. i thought that annes parents shared like a bigger bed than the twin sized bed. and annes and fritz room was very small. i wouldnt have been able to spend two years with a man that could be my grandpa in the same room. i wouldnt have been able to spend two + years in a small space with 8 people.]]> 2023-05-11 17:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587548535 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587553218 While I was going through the rooms, I noticed that the rooms were very small and crowded only with the essentials. I loved the small details I saw throughout the rooms though. Like the height lines for Anne or her red high heels that Miep bought for her. I still can't believe they stayed in that same living situation for two years! Being able to look at the rooms and where and how they lived, it helped me understand the details of the play better and how much they wanted to be free and be able to ride their bikes or go see movies or spend time with friends. Anne is truly an amazing girl who, sadly, didn't survive WWII, but she plays a big part in today's world because we now understand her situation and what she went through because of her diary. ]]> 2023-05-11 17:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587553218 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587558485 I think it's really incredible how they managed to live in there for 2 years. The rooms look just a bit bigger than a car and it makes sense that anne would be upset at some of the people around her. ]]> 2023-05-11 17:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587558485 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587561878 I'm not sure how to feel about the secret Annex. It was perfect at all if anything it was probably very uncomfortable but what other chance did they have? Its amazing how they didn't get caught for that long and even when they did all their things were left in the same exact place. This helps me understand the play more by hearing what the characters are saying and where they're st gives me an idea of visualizing it in my head.]]> 2023-05-11 17:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587561878 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587569440 I think its really impressive that 8 people were able to live in that space together. They were all reallly brave for staying in there. You can't really blame them for being rude to each other when they were hiding in silence all day with each other for 2 years]]> 2023-05-11 17:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587569440 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587600139 The thing that surprised me the most is how much room they actually had, I thought it would be just a bit smaller. It's crazy that so many people were able to manage living in that space together. I feel like living in the secret annex was probably very uncomfortable but it's cool how they made it work. The details in the secret annex helped me understand the play better by helping me visualize the rooms and the little space they had. Also the items that are talked about. I learned that they didn't really have hallways, You kind of just walked through a door and it was a different room. The details really helped me understand how much they wanted to be able to live like people who weren't hiding and be able to go outside and take walks or ride bikes. I liked how you could walk up to an item and it had a video icon and if you click it, it would tell you more about the item and what it was. There was also a video on the items too. I liked how it showed what some of the people would do when they had to be quiet, for example Otto Frank read books by Charles Dickens and would keep a dictionary at hand to improve his English. It even had the times he would read which was between 8:30 and 9:00 am.]]> 2023-05-11 18:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587600139 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587646080 What I learned is that all of them really persevered through the living conditions. Looking at how small Otto, Edith, and Margot's room is and how small that bed is shows that they were cramped and that is the common area as well. This makes me surprised that they didn't get Claustrophobia mostly peter though because that room is very crowded. This makes me understand how they all feel because not only are you in a small room for the rest of the day but you are forced to be silent as soon as you wake up and when that is over you have to talk to the same people everyday. ]]> 2023-05-11 18:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587646080 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587646126 The thing that surprised me the most is how they were able to tolerate each other. I can't believe that they were able to deal with each other even a little bit, I would have lost my mind if I were in the situation they were in. Also they had 2-3 people in 1 room each so it got crowded and there was little to no privacy at all, I wouldn't last 1 month and they lasted 2 years.]]> 2023-05-11 18:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587646126 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587648072 What surprised me was how small all these rooms are and it would drive me crazy if I couldn't leave the house for a day but they stayed there for 2 years I wouldn't have survived.]]> 2023-05-11 18:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587648072 omaraleman https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587648206 The Annex Looks Very Interesting There Is A Bookshelf That Blocks The Entrance To The Annex Most Of The Rooms In The Annex Are Very Cramped. In Peter's Room I Saw That There Is A Bike. And The Attic Is Not Hugely Cramped But It Is Still Cramped, In The Bathroom There Isn't A Shower In There. Well I Have No Idea How Long An Average Person Can Survive In There. They Survived About 2 Years It Isn't Likely That Some People Wouldn't Survive For 2 Years Most Of The Rooms Are Very Cramped. ]]> 2023-05-11 18:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587648206 https://padlet.com/kjakins/SecretAnnex/wish/2587648425 I don't blame them for being rude, those rooms were so small I would probably hyperventilate.

What surprised me is how small Anne's room was, though two people slept in that room, it didn't look spacious at all. I would start to understand the cruelty they gave each other, since they've been living in that little place for so long, but I respect that they were patient enough to handle each other.
