What moments contribute most strongly toward Korinna’s transformation into a mature, compassionate and brave character through the course of Behind the Bedroom Wall?
Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question:
Teaching Suggestion: For the first point (what injustices are faced by Jewish characters throughout the novel), it might be helpful for the class to recall as a group various textual examples. These might include Herr Haase being beaten and arrested, the Jewish children being spat at on the street, the girls’ school friend Anita being excluded, and the Krugmanns being forced into hiding.
Differentiation Suggestion: Students who might benefit from additional scaffolding could include these instances (listed above) in a tabular format, and use an adjacent column to assess Korinna’s feelings about the instances at various points in the novel; this will enable students to use textual evidence to track her maturation.
