A diary of a girl

Hi guys,

Here's the link of Ann Frank's house. I thought you could take a closer look at the lives of the Franks during WW2. As you explore, appreciate the peace we have now and imagine how the people in Singapore must have also suffered. In about 3 weeks time, it is going to be Total Defence Day- consider the significance of that day as Singaporeans.

By the way, the photo above is a statue of Ann Frank. I took a photograph of it in Amsterdam when I visited the museum (her house) last year.

fantasy, biography, fiction or nonfiction.

Ø2. Take notes about the book using an idea organizer.
