Give a unit test which will combine objective questions, a choice of short essay questions, and an opinion. There are speakers, often found through local Jewish community centers, who will talk of their Holocaust experiences. The National Geographic video series has videos depicting the beauty of Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Bavarian Germany, etc. A visit to a local art museum could reinforce the lesson on French Impressionism and familiarize students with the works of other Western European artists, both past and present. They could then choose three pieces of art to display, tell about the artist, and explain why the work is representative of their chosen country.
Students tend to be nervous about student-generated quizzes.
Be certain to check all questions for relevance, clarity, and fairness. Students might even generate a pre-test review game based upon numerous possible questions, and then choose a few questions for their portion of the quiz. However, it is fun to have students vote on the two or three best images and discuss why these are considered superior. Warn students of the graphic images of the Holocaust in the event someone should choose not to view the transparencies.
