The Holocaust: Hope in Dark Times Unit
8th Grade ELA
As you can read in the link below, the global education unit lesson plan framework is both comprehensive and strategic. For this unit, I wanted my students to understand what events led to the The Holocaust and what was the world's reaction to this devastating part of human history and how these events still affect the world in the 21st Century. Part of this unit encompasses field experience to San Antonio's Jewish Community Center. It is very important for our students to meet people from different faiths and backgrounds, ask questions, and build relationships with different people from our community. Students will also be able to apply what they have learned about conflict by identifying issues harming their community, researching those issues, and proposing solutions to policy makers.
