INTRODUCTORY LESSONS & ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST
by Josephine Cripps, Teacher at Summit K-12, Seattle"These lessons comprise a basic, introductory unit that is unconventional in a couple of ways. First, the lessons are highly scripted in order to assist teachers who worry about what to say when they introduce the Holocaust. Second, the lessons emphasize group work, peer teaching, and activities that get students out of their seats...The lessons are presented in the order in which I teach them over the first few weeks of a semester-long course."
