Monday Night's Homework

We will begin our next unit on Monday, "The Tenacity of the Human Spirit."  Though Anne Frank's story will be the focus of our journey, we (yes, you!) will add supplemental texts.  This time around, you'll be the one supplying materials for our unit.

For the weekend's homework, please conduct an internet search for nonfiction materials related to the word "genocide" (the deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation).  Based on your experience with the RST (research simulated task) in LA and Science, find a source that you believe would be appropriate for school. 


You need to print out and bring in one resource related to the keyword of genocide.  Make sure that you write down the website address.

Source styles may include:

• maps
• graphs
• photographs
• political cartoons
• video clips
• news articles
• personal experiences (not yours, but a victim's)
• infographic
• timeline
• polls
