Advanced Reading - Holocaust Book Report Assignment

Using the Holocaust Reading List, read a Holocaust related non-fiction or fiction book and write a 2 page, typed, double-spaced report explaining:

Task: How did this book confirm (or not confirm) your previously-held concept of events during the Holocaust? What this means is: think about what you already knew about the Holocaust before reading Anne Frank and your BR book.

It is strongly recommended you use outside sources other than the book itself to validate your opinion. - You may use the background information sheets from Anne Frank.

This is not a standard book report. You are not being asked to give details of the story or background of the characters. Your task is to place this book’s message in the historical context of the Holocaust.

- The characters are merely vehicles to acquire the facts.
- How do the characters interact with history?
Don't be overly concerned with character and story development, but concentrate on the history that you learn from this book.

Under no circumstances are you to read and report on a book that you have already read.

The book report is worth 30 points.

Due Dates:
Book selection: Holocaust Fiction/Non-Fiction

Complete book by: January 24, 2011

Book report due: January 28, 2011
