The Holocaust Web Project is a web project designed to help students understand the events and devastation of the Holocaust. Students visit each link and learn about the perpetrators, victims, causes and effects of the largest mass murder in history. Students must be able to research, organize information, and create a multimedia presentation. There are several outside resources that I used and all are linked to the project page.
Several lessons are cross-curricular.
After reading about individuals who represent a cultural group, the learner will draw inferences about the experiences, problems, and opportunities the group encountered in the past. The learner will respond to specified curriculum themes through a variety of writing experiences both individually and in a group. From a given or self-selected topic or theme, the learner will locate and use information from a variety of resources to support ideas, concepts, and interpretations. The learner will 1. identify significant individuals from the region's past and explain their influence on people from different times and their impact on the cultural heritage of the United States 2. 1. collect data and create a picture of a bar graph representing the data.
