Today, class began with a brief discussion/review of genocide from yesterday’s class. Students then read two example articles of genocide aloud with their groups. After each group finished reading an article, they recorded evidence from the articles that corresponded to each “criteria” of genocide. This task took the majority of class time.

    After students finished reading both of their articles, they were instructed to organize notes on their organizer into complete statements. Students who were done reading used the rest of class to organize their notes. By organizing their notes into statements, students will be better prepared to teach other classmates about their topics. This task took us to the end of class.

    For homework, students should finish organizing their notes into complete statements and be ready to teach other classmates by next class.

If Absent: If students were absent, they should read the two articles they were given on Monday and record evidence from the articles that corresponds to each “criteria” of genocide. After they read both articles, organize notes into complete sentences. Students should be ready to teach other classmates by the next class.
