Teachers are overwhelmed in the classroom and don’t have time to curate lessons that utilize primary sources, so we have done it for you! Lessons that are rich in primary sources help to bring stories alive through the words, photos, documents, and artifacts of the individual, while teaching students important skills such as critical thinking, historical inquiry.
“I have learned more through this class than any other resource I have read or class I have taken. The depth and knowledge in these lessons is phenomenal.”
Cohort participants will receive nine curated primary source packets with Google Slide decks for teacher instruction, student handouts, and worksheets.
The program includes the following class topics:
January 28: Judaism and Diversity of Jewish Life
February 4: Antisemitism
February 11: Rise of Nazism
February 18: The Power of Propaganda
February 25: Collaboration & Complicity in the Holocaust
March 4: Challenges of Escape
March 11: Wannsee Conference and “The Final Solution”
March 18: Rescue & Resistance/ Aftermath of WWII and the Holocaust
