Holocaust Education Workshop
Clayton County, Jonesboro, Georgia—February 2006

Teachers are invited to explore key themes associated with learning about the Holocaust and related topics through study of texts such as Night and The Diary of Anne Frank in this interactive half-day session. A range of parallel texts addressing these themes are introduced, including ones appropriate for comparative study of the Indian Removal, the Japanese-American internment, as well as the Middle Passage and enslavement of Africans in the U.S. Creative strategies for teaching tied to NCTE and state standards are used, such as interpreting visual culture texts, reflective journaling, and role play. Time for planning—both cross-level and by grade level—is included.
