The World of Anne Frank

A Webquest for English 8

By Mr. Berry and Ms. Del Conte

"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
 
 
 
 
"I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support."

Introduction

     Welcome to the Anne Frank Webquest! From here on out you
   will work in teams to re-discover history. You will travel
   back in time to when Anne and her family lived. When your
   quest is done, you will share what you learned with your
   classmates in the form of a poster, scale model, or PowerPoint.


The Process - Overview

     Your task is to work in groups to do some historical
     detective work. Teams of 4 or 5 students will use the
     links to Web sites we have provided to complete the
     worksheets. Once your team has finished the detective
     work, you will be ready to make your final project. At
     the end, each group will present its findings to the
     rest of the class. It is important to remember that ALL members of
     your team must contribute, otherwise it wouldn't be a TEAM EFFORT and
     the group grade will suffer. Enjoy your exploration, and do your best!
     For detailed instructions on what to do, check out the PROCEDURE.

Conclusion

    Congratulations! You've completed the Anne Frank WebQuest.
   You have explored Anne Frank's life, writing, and the time and
   culture in which she lived. All of this information will help you
   understand Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett's play that recounts
   the Franks' experiences during WWII. Your historical "detective work"
   will enable you to answer the questions: Who was Anne Frank; What
   motivated her to write in her diary; and, How do her writings help
   us to understand World War II, the Holocaust, and Anne Frank herself.
   Happy Reading!
