Analyzing Theme: The Invisibility of Captives during WWII


Description

In this lesson, students continue to address the question of how war affects individuals and societies by analyzing the theme concept of “invisibility” in a complex scene in Unbroken. The work in this lesson builds toward Lesson 14, during which students will receive the prompt for the End of Unit 2 Assessment (Informational Essay and Commentary: The Invisibility of Captives during WWII) and begin to select the strongest evidence from Unbroken and “The Life of Miné Okubo” to include in their essays. Since students have not worked with “The Life of Miné Okubo” in several lessons, today’s Written Conversation will re-familiarize them with that text.
