The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - Ms. Chicoine ELA

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by: John Boyne

? The intention of this bundle is for the chapter book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas to be read as a class read aloud with either writing prompts or class discussion points.

? Each chapter is represented with a question that is meant to engage students and allows them to critically think about and relate to the story.

? Where appropriate, the chapters have been combined, but that will be specifically noted on the top of the slide.

? Slides can be used as a class interaction piece, or as notes for the teacher.

? I have also included worksheet extensions to help with character identification and comparison. Use them at your discretion.

? Enjoy!
