Carryover from Friday:
You need to complete your research and write your two paragraphs about the towns your photos originated from. In addition, try and locate the towns on your map I gave to you on Friday.
Assignment #1- Photo Response:
You brought a photograph from your own collection that in some way matches one of your researched photographs. Please write an organized, well thought out response in paragraph form that addresses the following questions. Don't just answer the questions, but rather use them to help you form a personal reflection paragraph.
In examining your researched photos, identify evidence that suggests that life was normal for Jews prior to the Nazis.
What did you discover as you looked through your own family's photos in comparison to those you had researched? Which photo of your family did you choose that relates and why?
How do the photos show the similarities between you, your family, or your community to those in European Jewish life prior to WWII?
What conclusions can you draw from this activity? What is your emotional response to this?
Assignment #2- Living On and Biography
Click on the Living On link that can be found here and select a Survivor, Refugee, or Hidden Child to research. Come tell me which person you have selected because each student will need to select a different member of Living On. Read the biography for that person and look at artifacts, etc. If there is a video available, watch it. Complete a rough timeline for the life of the person you have chosen. You will then complete another researched paragraph about the town where the Living On person you have chosen lived during the Holocaust.
All of this information is due in class tomorrow.
