My Students

My 10th graders are so happy to be back in-person in the classroom that they ALL actually seem to be ENJOYING learning about history this year! They absorb new information like sponges and are developing critical thinking skills WAY beyond their years. They ask thoughtful questions and engage with each other in difficult discussions about the ramifications about the pros and cons of historical events. It's a wonder to behold!

My Project

I have found using Interactive Notebooks extremely useful in helping students engage on the topic of the Holocaust. Every day, they receive one or two articles about the many different aspects of Nazi Germany and/or the Holocaust and they are expected to read and interact with that article in this notebook. Students can practice taking bulleted notes, but they are also sometimes inspired to create drawings, mind maps, or written word poems in response to what they have read. Because the articles are bite-sized and specific, I also include links to more information that students often utilize to extend their learning.

And honest to God, it is THE only time I EVER have students begging for more homework!

Simultaneously, I run a simulation of what life was like for persecuted people throughout Europe during the Nazi regime and students use the back half of the notebook for diary-like entries relating to the two fictional personas they have randomly selected. Students have a peeked personal connection as they follow their fates thru the years 1933-1945. It's an elaborate simulation, but in the end, clearly illustrates the fate of the Jewish people (and other persecuted groups) in the various German-occupied countries of Europe.
