We began class with a warm-up activity. Students answered three questions found at the bottom of the homework assignment (reading on Jackson's early life). As they answered the questions we checked their homework. We then discussed the warm-up questions.
Next, we assigned their homework. Homework is to complete the wedge on the Kaleidoscope Wheel about how a poor white man from Kentucky would probably view Andrew Jackson.
We then examined a picture on the "trail of tears." Students wrote down observations on the picture. We then discussed what we saw and students made inferences about the situation.
We then discussed the definition of genocide. There are five criteria of genocide and we examined these. See the attached PowerPoint for an overview of the lesson.
Genocide?- PowerPoint
Students were then split into groups. With groups we read an article about the holocaust. We then discussed why this is considered genocide.
Next students began reading their individual articles. Tomorrow we will continue to read these articles as a class.
If you missed class, see us at the beginning of class tomorrow for a reading and organizer.
