Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl—Project Ideas & Activities
![]() |
Anne Frank was only 13 years old when she and her family went into hiding in 1942. They hid in a secret attic in an office building. Some of the people in the building brought them food. The Frank family and four others hid in this secret attic for just over two years before they were found by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Although Anne did not survive, her diary did. Through this diary we see Anne's life, set against a background of unbelievably horrific world events. The following activities and tests will enhance and assess your students' comprehension of Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl. Also listed are a student worksheet and project ideas to accompany the reading of the book. |
