Dickman

During this project you will be asked to research 4 different questions relating to the Holocaust.  After completing your research you will create a power point presentation that will answer the questions.  You will have 3 days in the lab to complete this project and 2 days in the library for research.  Though this should allow for enough time, I will also offer 2 days after school, if you need any extra help.

Your power point must include:

1.       A title page in MLA format

2.       4 question slides with the questions at the top and thoroughly researched answers.

3.       4 pictures slides relating to each question.  This means that each question slide should be followed by a picture slide.

4.       A bibliography including all of your research and pictures.  This means you should take notes on your bibliography worksheet for every resource you use.

5.       If you complete the project correctly you should have a minimum of 10 slides. 

6.       Creativity and presentation count!

Bibliography:

1. Minimum of 3 sources

2. Do not use Wikipedia!!    

3. One of them must be a book

I have attached a rubric and your bibliography worksheet.  Do not lose these!

Here are the questions you can choose from:

1     Were all concentration camps considered death camps? 

2     Who else was sent to concentration camps besides the Jews?  Why?

3     What was life like on a daily basis for people living in hiding?

4     What was life like on a daily basis for Jews that were living in camps?

       Imagine you were a survivor after the war, what do you do now?  What is life like?

6    Imagine you are a Jew that escaped Germany, where would you go?  What would you do?

      What is the Final Solution?

      What was the Nazi reasoning for disliking the Jews?

Holocaust Research Assignment

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, we are preparing to start our final project.  "The Diary of Anne Frank" will be the last unit of class.  However, during this unit the students will be working on their Holocaust Research projects.  It is incredibly important for the students to have a deeper understanding of what the Frank family experienced during this time.  Within the project, each student will research 4 questions about the Holocaust and create a power point explaining their discoveries.

Grades

Aries grades are current.  I have entered all of the student's work.  If you have any questions about grades, feel free to email me. There will be opportunities for extra credit throughout the remainder of the semester but the best place to start is completing missing assignments. :)
