Teaching Students to Take a Stand Against Hate: Using the Holocaust as a Lens

Monday, June 22nd, 2009
Grade: 5th Gradedscn1508
Topics: Holocaust, Black History, Jewish culture, slavery, Racism, Hate
Created by: Liav Shapiro
This unit was created as a response to a question in Liav’s classroom: “What was the Holocaust?” Liav noticed early-on that there existed underlying hatred in her classroom- children from different countries refusing to work together, making faces at one another, etc.  She wanted to see an end to this bullying, and engaged her class, one lesson at a time, through a study of hatred and genocide.
