The Butterfly, a Holocaust Poem - Close Read and Short Answer Response
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Looking for a meaningful way to honor Holocaust victims? With respect and dignity, Pavel Friedmann's poem, The Butterfly, guides students through a close reading of the text, a paired short answer response, and the option to create their own butterfly in honor of Holocaust victims.
The teachers in my middle school found this activity to be a meaningful closure to a Holocaust unit.
