Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - Tuesday, January 10, 2017

AGENDA
Objective:  To introduce the Holocaust.

1.) Journal:  Copy the quote down and respond to it.  What do you think MLK Jr. meant by it?  Does it still ring true today?  How?  Explain with examples.

"Darkness cannot drive out the dark, only light can do that.  Hatred cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."  ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

2.) Quick discuss
3.) Check in...what do you already know about the Holocaust?
5.) 6,000,000 assignment (see below)
6.) Agenda Books

HOMEWORK
1.)Continue working towards a finished essay - DUE ON THURSDAY

2.) By next week, I need to see your current or new Independent Reading Book title.

3.) Finish 6,000,000 activity.


6,000,000 ACTIVITY
Six million Jewish people were murdered in the Holocaust.  6,000,000.  Just how many is that?  Choose a place that you love - Fenway park, TMS, the state of CA, etc. - and find out just how many people those places hold/what the population of those places are.  How many of those places would there need to be in order to equal the amount of Jewish people that perished during the Holocaust?  

You need to illustrate your finding on a piece of paper and include a few sentences explaining your illustration.
