Book Club Meets… World War II Jr. High (5th-8th grades) Literature

The lesson plans for this class are available for those outside Life Adventures for $25 from our in house author. These have worked great in our co-ops. Here's a look at what those classes look like. Contact us and tell us which lesson plans you're interested in and we'll connect you with the author.

With our six week series "Book Club Meets..." students explore World War II through the powerful and accessible novel Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. Through guided reading and thoughtful discussion, students encounter history through the eyes of a child, focusing on courage, friendship, sacrifice, and moral choice.

Classes include discussion, map work, vocabulary, light historical context, and reflective activities that help students understand the human side of history without overwhelming detail. Emphasis is placed on empathy, resilience, and standing up for others, making this unit especially appropriate for upper elementary and middle-grade readers.

Each Book Club Meets class includes a complete six-week plan designed to foster historical understanding, strong reading habits, and meaningful conversation in a supportive, age-appropriate setting.
