Her Diary 

On June 12, 1942, Frank's parents gave her a red checkered diary for her 13th birthday. She wrote her first entry, addressed to an imaginary friend named Kitty, that same day: "I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.“

Going into Hiding

Weeks later, on July 5, 1942, Margot received an official summons to report to a Nazi work camp in Germany. The very next day, on July 6, 1942 the family went into hiding in makeshift quarters in an empty space at the back of Otto Frank's company building, which they referred to as the Secret Annex.

Bell work: Thursday, Jan. 5 



Anne Frank says, "…the mean Anne comes to the outside and the good Anne stays on the inside…" Write a journal entry where you describe the you that is on the outside, the one people see. Then, describe the you that is on the inside, that most people do not ever see.

Bell work: Friday, Jan. 6 Anne Frank says, "I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart." You know that history books, and the newspapers and television, are full of terrible things. Are people good at heart? Is anyone all evil? Is anyone all good? Feel free to give examples, from your own life, from the news, or from history.

Act I Scene 1-2 Mr. Frank tells Anne, "There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind" (379). He is speaking metaphorically. What does he mean? Do you agree? Support your opinion with examples from your own knowledge or experiences. The first segment of writing establishes characters. Choose two characters, write three descriptive adjectives after each character's name, and discuss how Goodrich and Hackett develop these characters Act I Scene 3 Each member of the Van Daan family has a weakness. Choose a character, identify his / her weakness, prove it in a CD, and predict how this weakness will affect the goal of the group.

List the major conflicts so far developed in the play. Label these as internal or external. Connect one of these conflicts to the greater outside conflict, the reason for hiding in the first place. What connections, parallels, or ironies exist between the conflicts inside and the conflicts outside of the Annex. Act I Scene 4-5 Does Anne seem to have typical teenage attitudes toward her parents? In your answer, quote a passage in CD/CM format to support your opinion. (Avoid “I think”!) What is at stake here? How will your decision change your relationship with those hiding with you? Should Mr. Frank have consulted the other members of the Annex before inviting Mr. Dussel to live there? Why or Why not? Does he exhibit leadership skills when making this decision? How could this decision present a moral dilemma for him? How might it change his relationships with others in the Annex?
