The Book Thief Curriculum Unit

Liesel steals books in Nazi Germany, and Death tells her story. Students never forget it.

Teach The Book Thief with ready-to-use lessons.

This revised teacher resource contains 10–12 classroom-tested lesson plans, plus timesaving reproducible handouts, quizzes, and teaching strategies that sharpen critical-thinking skills as students explore Markus Zusak's unusual narrator, the power of words, and life under the Third Reich.

Pair it with the Novel Guide. Two complementary resources for one modern classic.

Words can be weapons, and gifts.
