Occasionally I feature special essays that my students write.
My students were asked to create imaginery diary entries for Anne Frank (if she had survived).

Dear Kitty,
I am devastated. My country is devastated. The world is devastated. Yesterday, in my own city, the great Twin Towers fell to the ground. Yes, a plane crashed into them and brought them down, on purpose. Who did this? Early reports are saying the ones who caused this are Muslim terrorists from the Middle East. I must admit, when I first heard about this devastating event, immediately I prayed that the Germans were not behind this. Although I am an old lady now, I often worry about the Germans rising up against the Allies. I fear that someone in the German army who has a Nazi past will recognize me and kill me, because I am a Jew. Actually, I never thought about it that much until yesterday afternoon. An event like this has rekindled many peoples’ fears I bet. I must go now, something on the news has caught my attention. !!!!!!
Yours,
Anne
