The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

The Perth International Arts Festival provides many great pre-reading ideas as well as interactive activities that engage the senses.

Ed Helper features a multitude of worksheets pertaining to the book, including vocabulary building, discussion questions, etc.

This 6th grade literature unit on the Book Thief includes some ideas for engaging the book across the curriculum.  I especially like the "Science Activity" - have students choose recipes and create a meal out of Jewish recipes from the era of the book and invite student's family to share the meal.  Also includes a day by day guide.
