• These lessons are designed with the assumption that students do not know that Anne was killed in the Holocaust and will only find out at the end of the play. For this reason, you may wish to be mindful of revealing any information that may lead students to realize this. However, you may make your own decision about whether you want to reveal that Anne died (or your students may already know).
• Today's lesson contains sensitive content that may be upsetting or triggering for students. Emphasize respectful communication, critical thinking, and context understanding prior to engaging in today's reading. Name for students resources they can leverage within the classroom or school day to process their emotions.
