We will go through this PowerPoint as a class before we start reading the novel: Number the Stars: Background & Context
This is the first assignment for the novel study. It is a workbook of short-answer questions. There are only a few for each chapter, and you should answer them fairly briefly, but please think about the questions and answer them in your OWN words. No copying your neighbour's answers word for word - I will be checking this!
Please save a copy of this document on your OneDrive and share it with me. As you read each chapter of the novel, answer the questions directly into the document.
Please do NOT print out the document and write the answers on the sheet.
