Anne Frank Classroom Chronicles Newspaper Template Research Project ELA 8th 9th

Bring The Diary of Anne Frank to life with this engaging Classroom Chronicles character analysis project! This creative Diary of Anne Frank activity turns traditional character analysis into an interactive, newspaper-style project that encourages students to research, analyze, write, and think critically about the key people connected to Anne Frank’s story.

 

Perfect for a The Diary of Anne Frank novel study, play unit, Holocaust literature unit, character analysis activity, or culminating project, students create a Classroom Chronicle focused on one of the text’s major figures. Instead of simply answering comprehension questions, students explore character traits, setting, conflicts, important events, character changes, and more as they build their own engaging chronicle.

 

PERFECT FOR:

• Holocaust literature units
  • Holocaust research activities
  • Middle school ELA projects
  • Characterization activities
  • Character traits and character development
  • Historical figure research
  • Informational writing

 

This resource includes 8 different Classroom Chronicles, allowing students to investigate:

• Anne Frank

• Otto Frank

• Edith Frank

• Fritz Pfeffer

• Hermann Van Pels

• Auguste Van Pels

• Peter Van Pels

• Miep Gies

 

Students can work independently on an assigned character, choose a character to investigate, or complete different chronicles as part of a collaborative class project.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

 

• 8 Diary of Anne Frank Classroom Chronicles: Each newspaper-style chronicle gives students an engaging way to demonstrate their understanding of a major character or historical figure while incorporating reading comprehension, character analysis, research, and writing skills.

 

• Complete Student Workbook – PDF & Digital: Students don’t have to jump directly into creating their newspaper! The included workbook walks them through the questions and information they need to gather before completing their Classroom Chronicle. Use the printable PDF workbook or the digital version to fit the needs of your classroom.

 

• Exclusive Student Research Website: Students receive access to an exclusive research website featuring carefully selected, kid-friendly research websites and resources. This makes it easier for students to locate appropriate information about their assigned character without spending an entire class period searching the internet.

 

• Extended Writing Activities: Take the project beyond the newspaper with additional writing extension suggestions that encourage students to dig deeper into the characters, events, conflicts, and historical context surrounding Anne Frank’s story.

 

• Project Rubric: A ready-to-use rubric makes expectations clear for students and makes grading the final Classroom Chronicle easier for teachers.

 

This The Diary of Anne Frank Classroom Chronicles project provides an alternative to another worksheet or traditional book report.
