I use the BBC Masterpiece Theatre Movieadaptation. You can click on the link above to find it on Amazon. This is a 110 minute movie that works well in classes, although there is one section I fast-forward through (minutes 25:00-27:00) when Anne speaks of puberty. This version is more closely tied to the play, than the 1959 3 hour version. That one matches better with the actual diary/novel.

This activity is designed to be used with the PLAY version of The Diary of Anne Frank found in many literature anthology series or in a format similar to this:
