Thursday is a great day! Really...I feel this way every Thursday!
Today in Humanities, students used atlases to finish coloring and labeling the political map of Europe that we began yesterday. We used these maps to begin talking about Europe's relative location in the world and its' history of power because of this location. We discussed the relative location of various countries, including Germany, the country where the Holocaust began. Then, we began our reading and discussion about the Holocaust. Miss Devine divided the students into reading groups and each group read a chapter about the beginning of the Holocaust and how it came to be. Students highlighted and marked main points in their reading and then as a group, they created a rough draft of a poster to display this information. Tomorrow, the groups will be presenting the information they learned from their reading to the class and we will put together a timeline of this history.
HOMEWORK: Extra credit option- worksheet, labeling capitals of European countries. Students are to finish reading their Holocaust chapter from class and write down the 5 main points of the chapter. They need to bring this to class tomorrow.
