You will have next five days to read about the Holocaust. Each person in your group will be responsible for completing one or more tasks that summarize this topic via text structure. Everyone will begin by watching the video under the Overview. Then, independently, each member will work on their chosen task. You are required to use your resources to complete this project.

Your resources include:

• provided graphic organizers

• Text Structure Notes

• Vocab lists

• Each other's brains

A group grade will be given along with an individual grade.

Watch this video learn about the Final Solution-- when the world started paying attention to Hitler's actions against the Jews. Everyone will watch this video first.

Watch the video in this section to describe the Final Solution, Hitler's plan to annihilate the entire Jewish population and culture during WW2, using five senses and the 5Ws. Be specific with word choice. NO RIP words allowed. If you use direct quotes, you MUST put the text in quotation marks. The more detail the better.

Watch the video from the Overview and the video from Task #1. Then, list the effects the Final Solution had on the Jews before, during, and after this event. Be specific with word choice. NO RIP words allowed. If you use direct quotes, you MUST put the text in quotation marks. The more detail the better.

Watch both videos from the Overview and Task #1 and read the article from Task #4 to create a timeline of events for the Final Solution, including its start and finish. Be specific with word choice and details. NO RIP words are allowed. If you’re going to use direct quotes, you MUST put this text in quotation marks. The more paraphrasing (putting text into your own words without losing original meaning) the better.

Eventually the Soviet Union (Russia) was one of the first countries to rescue the Jews from concentration camps. Read this article (from the History Channel) to track the problems Russia faced and the solutions it found to save the Jews from pure annihilation. NO RIP words are allowed. If you’re going to use direct quotes, you MUST put this text in quotation marks. The more paraphrasing (putting text into your own words without losing original meaning) the better

Compare the video from Task #1 to Elie Wiesel's description of Auschwitz from his memoir Night. What do both texts capture AND leave out about the Holocaust? Be specific with word choice and details. NO RIP words are allowed. The more comparisons the better.
