Description

This Number The Stars, Characterization, Character Study, Body Biography Project Bundle, For Print and Digital is filled with all you need to teach and promote the amazing characters from the author, Lois Lowry’s novel. Your students will find plenty of opportunities for creativity. For the first time, you’ll experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, Number The Stars, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project!
 
In your classroom, whether you’re teaching in-person or remotely:
“Teaching about the Holocaust can inspire students to think critically about the past and their own roles and responsibilities today.” A Number The Stars, novel study is a very meaningful way to cover a Holocaust literature unit, Holocaust Remembrance Days, and World War II (just to name a few).
 
The project bundle includes 6 characters. Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C’s and achievement. Leave the Number The Stars body biographies up all year long! I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.
