Unit 3 The Power of One Each of us can make a difference!

1. Unit 3The Power of One Each of us can make a difference! • This unit builds on the first 2 units, “What is Truth?” and our “Survival” unit. • Throughout this unit we will focus on the story of Anne Frank which is set during WWII and the Holocaust. Although the topic of the Holocaust and war times can be quite depressing, we will focus and end on the theme of how people made a positive difference during extremely difficult times. • Like Anne Frank, there are others who have made a positive impact on others through their idealistic outlook on the world. To start our journey, let’s meet Malala.
