Lesson Plan
Look carefully at the words and picture on page 12 of Light From The Yellow Star. Ask yourself:

• What does the picture represent?
• Why does Dr. Fisch use only black and white in this painting?
• What if your teacher tore up a picture of you or a member of your family? How would you feel?

Draw, describe, or make a collage to illustrate your feelings.

Present your image to the class and answer any questions they may have.

• Why are photographs so important to us?
• Which do you think is more powerful, creation or destruction?
