Jan 23rd HOMEWORK - DUE Jan 25th - U6D6
Today we began talking about the events of the Holocaust.  Mrs. Morris shared a video and survivor story and shared some facts about the holocaust.  Then students were to read 5-6 of the Holocaust Victim Stories and create ANYTHING that would represent one of those stories or their feelings on the Holocaust.  This could be a poem, song lyrics, picture, letter, diagram, etc.  ANYTHING.  You cannot really do this assignment wrong.  It just needs to come from the heart.  Every student will be presenting these to the class next time!  Come prepared.
