2. Re-write the Chapter 16 scene of the soldier searching the boats from Ellen’s POV.

Original Point of View Re-Write from Ellen’s Point of View

Annemarie frowned,

remembering the empty boat

that morning. “Were the Rosens and the others there, then,

underneath, when I brought the

basket?”

Uncle Henrik nodded.

“I heard nothing,”

Annemarie said.

“Of course not. They had to

be absolutely quiet for many

hours. The baby was drugged so

that it wouldn’t wake and cry.”

“Could they hear me when I

talked to you?”

“Yes. Your friend Ellen told me, later, that they heard you.

And they heard the soldiers who

came to search the boat.”

***

“It must have been awful

for them, so many hours there,”

[Annemarie] murmured. “Was it

dark in the hiding place?”

Pov “Dark, and cold, and very AM's nowing

cramped…”

(Lowry, 1989, pp. 123-127)

Lesson Execution for Question #3:

1. Frame the task

A. “In chapter 16, Annemarie learns the truth from Uncle Henrik about why bringing the packet was so important and realizes that Ellen, her family, and other Jews were hiding under the boat. We’re going to re-read this scene. Annotate for specific details we learn about Ellen’s experience from Annemarie’s conversation with uncle Henrik.”

1. Re-read p. 123 (Annemarie frowned) to p. 126 (he didn’t need to).

A. Annotate for specific details we learn about Ellen’s experience from Annemarie’s conversation with uncle Henrik.

1. BPQs:

A. Where was Ellen hiding?

B. What protected Ellen?

C. What do you think it was like for Ellen hiding at the bottom of the boat?

D. What were some of the emotions Ellen must have been feeling?

1. Say: “Great! Those details aren’t EXACTLY written in this scene, but we made inferences based on what we know about this time period. With those details in mind, you are going to take 5 minutes to re-write this scene from Ellen’s perspective.”

1. Set expectations for task: “Use the pronouns ‘I, me, we, us’ as if you are telling the story from Ellen’s point of view. Include what ellen must have heard, been feeling been hoping for, and been thinking.”

1. Work time!

1. Choose 1-2 exemplary re-writes to fact that by telling the story from Ellen’s POV, we get s better sense for her unique experience. That’s not what we originally read!

1. Say: “Now, lets think: what do we understand MORE or LESS because of learning what happened from Annemarie’s POV?”

3. SP turn and talk —> independently answer discussion question —> WG discussion
