The presentation I had planned for section 1 is NOT due Monday. I have redesigned the assignment because I noticed students were struggling with what I had given them. We will work on this written piece next week.
Section 1 watched half of the Masterpiece Theater version of Anne Frank today.

Written piece
1. Introduction:
At the end of the play The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne states her belief that, “In spite of everything, I still believe
that people are good at heart.” This
is one theme of the play which is developed over the course of the text. The
writers of the play use the characters, setting, and plot to
develop and convey this theme.
2. Write
a five-sentence summary of the play.
3. Discuss
how the setting the writers chose is bad, yet the writers used the setting to
show the good in people.
4. Discuss
how the events in the story (the plot) cause problems, yet the writers used
those events to show the good in people.
5. Discuss
how the writers created characters to show what Anne saw in people: despite
their faults, people are good at heart. Discuss their actions, mannerisms,
things they said, and reactions to others and the setting.
6. Conclusion:
Reword the introduction as your conclusion.
