My name is Laura Patton. I am a secondary-certified language arts teacher and reading specialist. I've taught 7th and 8th graders in the Shawnee Mission School District for the past 20 years. I taught this unit as I was writing it during the 2004-2005 school year. It was impossible for me to write in formal, 3rd person language. Therefore, I have written the materials in my natural voice - informal and 1st person. I would not begin to think that this unit is the best way to teach either a Holocaust memoir or reading skills. It's just one way I tried to help my students become better readers during one particular school year. For me, teaching has always been an act of continuous improvement. I am always looking for new and better ways to help my students learn. I intended this unit to be used primarily by language arts teachers who had never taught the Holocaust before. I wanted it to be a way for teachers to dive in to this challenging subject matter and feel some degree of comfort. I encourage any teacher who uses these materials to adapt them as they see fit.
