The novel is extremely important in a middle school classroom. I try to choose books that will capture the interest of my students, keep them engaged and entertained, educate about historical events, as well as provoke connections and in-depth class discussions. I believe The Boy in the Striped Pajamas will be the perfect addition to our novel studies! My plan is for my students to read this book over a nine-week period. After reading each chapter, our day will include student-led group discussions, whole group discussion about the characters and their actions, mini-lesson on the historical components within the novel, as well as vocabulary and questioning reviews. My hope is that my students make a connection whether it be with a character or situation. I want my students to be so engaged they begin excitement to continue on to the next chapter! Please help me reach those students who desperately need to find that book that makes them realize READING IS EXCITING AND ENJOYABLE!
