Introduction
We have gathered quite a bit of information on the Holocaust and WWII. Your goal now is to use your knowledge to create a presentation on the topic.
Task
You have freedom in how you want to display your content. For example, you can do a Google Slides, a 20-question Blooket/Kahoot, make a song or podcast, etc. If you have an idea that is not listed above, let me know! I am always up for different ideas.
Google Slides:
- 4-6 slides (not including the title slide)
- A picture on each slide
- A 2-minute maximum video is allowed
- Please don't put all your information on the slides! Use notecards for the presentation.
Blooket/Kahoot:
- Minimum 20 questions
- Material needs to come from anything that was used in class.
- A picture needs to be included with each question
Song/Poem:
- Song needs to be at least 1 minute
- Poems can be any style
- 2 poems on different topics needed
Podcast:
- Can work with one or two classmates to create and record the podcast.
- The podcast needs to be an extension of what has been taught in class.
- It needs to be at least 3-5 minutes
Etc.:
- I will work with students who have other ideas.

Conclusion
We scratched the surface of the topic of the Holocaust.
What do you feel we missed?
How could we learn more?
What techniques should we use when researching?
Why do you think people go along with horrific acts?
What does it mean to stand up for what is right? What is the way we can stand up for what is right?
These are all questions to think about because we never want history to repeat itself. And it is up to all of us to make that the case.
