Paragraph 1:  Number the Stars Summary
Summarize what is happening now that we have read further into the book.  Why has the setting changed?    are the characters changing? What are you predicting as you are reading?

Paragraph 2:  Field Trip Reflection/Connection What connections did you make while you visited the museum?  What were topics that we learned in class that you saw or read during the tour?  How did you feel while you were at the museum?  What was the most interesting part of the trip?  Why?  



         Annemarie was going to her uncles  house along with Ellen and her Family except the dad and when they get there they see a cat and then they raise it to be their own. During the fake funeral Ellen's parent finally return but then the Rosen family is taking a boat to Sweden just to get away from the Nazi's and be safe so then near the end people came to the house and they had told the Johansen's that the guy peter had passed away he was part of the resistance and they captured him and then eventually murdered him and then Annemarie learns how her sister lice has died and she died because she was running and the Nazi's car ran her over by a car and shot her.




            At the holocaust museum i learned that many of the people that lived during the holocaust actually were captured by the Nazi's and  killed by the gas tanks or just taken to a field and just like totally killed and when they were killed they just didn't survive but then a lot the people escaped from the death and concentration camps and were found but some were not found and where were they. They were in a cave hiding and trying not to get spotted because if they were spotted they would be taken to the death camps and killed

NUMBER THE STARS BLOG



      In the novel Number the stars it is about a young girl who is not jewish but she had a friend that is jewish. And this girl her name is Annemarie and her friend's name is Ellen and the reason why i say this because at one point they get stopped Nazi at the corner and when the Nazi's stop them they asked questions. When they got home Kirsti told the mom about everything that happened. Ellen goes to the synagogue  witch is the  church for the jewish people and the priest  had said  that the germans took the list of the jewish peoples names and their addresses . Everybody was scared because the Nazi soldiers were looking for the jews.




        At one part in the story Kirsti is remembering when her mom told her about the fireworks    but instead of fireworks it was the ships blowing up. and this is important because Kirsti was just young and she did not know about anything. And at that time the war was going on so that is why the information is important. and in another part of the book Annemarie goes back to the time when she went to the tivoli gardens and it is important because it is amazing to remember thing when you are five.

Holocaust

After reading about some of the bystanders as well as the upstanders, explain why you believe many people stood by and watched the Holocaust take place? What inspired others to stand up or resist the Nazis?  What do you think you would have done? Explain your reasoning with details and facts that you have learned throughout our research of the Holocaust.







             After reading about some of the bystanders and up standers i believe that the people could   have stood up for the jews  but they were just being mean and following the orders of the Nazi's. the thing that inspired others stand up for the Jewish and not the Nazi's  because when they do that  they are being a nice person. the thing that i would have done is i would dress as a Nazi and i would gather them up and i would hide them some where in the woods. i feel like these people shouldn't do that and protect the jews and not gather them up and kill them. they would parachute to the hideout and give the jews some food and medication.
