Extended Learning Groups

Now that you have had a chance to get the gist of the Holocaust, we are going to study this event in history in more detail.
You will divide yourselves into small groups and choose a topic from the Holocaust to study extensively.  Possible topic choices might be Jewish laws, propaganda, Hitler youth, Kristallnacht, Non-Jewish Holocaust victims, Ghettos, concentration camps, liberators, and the aftermath.  Using the Online Holocaust Inquiry page and the Text Resources for Groups list, conduct your research.  You will be presenting your findings later in a polished newspaper format.
Your research should be guided by inquiry.  In other words, ask a question that you are curious about, and search for the answer.  Chances are, if you're wondering about it, so are your peers.
Remember that the most powerful sources are going to be primary sources.  Don't know what that means?  Check out this information:  primary and secondary sources.
