Your journey with Number the Stars has come to an end. I hope you enjoyed it. I want you to spend some time reflecting on the book. Think about the characters, time period, the main events in the story.

• What did you enjoy most about the book? 
• Was there anything you didn't like about the book? 
• What did you think about the way the story ended?

Please use specific details from the story to support your thinking. Be honest about your feelings and thinking, this is your time to reflect on your book. Make sure to answer ALL questions.

What fairy tale did Annemarie remember on her way to Uncle Henrik's boat? Why did Annemarie choose this fairy tale? How does it relate to what is happening in the story?

Week 4 Discussion Question

What was Annemarie's test of bravery when the German soldiers came to Uncle Henrik's house? Use specific examples from the book to support your thinking. We then learn that the funeral was meant to gather those who were trying to escape Denmark and go to Sweden. Peter is helping to do this by getting the families ready for their journey. Annemarie thinks to herself, "It was as if he had moved beyond his own youth and had taken his place in the world of adult." What does she mean by this? How has being part of the Resistence changed Peter? 

Make sure to answer the question with a RAD response and use details from the text to support your answer. Please check your grammar, spelling, capitalization, and conventions before submitting your response. It should be done in your blogging doc first so you can go back and make corrections.
