This is a writing activity that is used to go with the video "A teenager's experience", which can be found on unitedreaming.com. It tells the true story of a survivor of the Holocaust. I have my students watch the video and then I have them write a five paragraph essay over the video. This activity outlines what each paragraph should include. It's amazing how year after year, the kids really get into this activity, and actually enjoy writing!!
This is my sixth year teaching middle school. I have taught sixth grade Earth Science and Social Studies. I enjoy creating visually interesting and creative lessons.
