Instructional Objectives: Students find valid information about the holocaust and the treatment of Jews during WWII. Students are able to disseminate information and create a presentation in the form of a newspaper.

Action

Before-Class Preparation: Read Number the Stars. Talk about the holocaust and the relationship between the Germans and the Jews.

During Class

Time Instructional Activities Materials and Resources
 * 20-30 min || As a class introduce the concept of a newspaper. Talk about the roles that each person will play.Show newspapers from the period. || Computer with internet ||
 * 10 min || Review how to validate a website || Computer with internet ||
 * 10 -15 min || Assign groups and have groups assign roles ||  ||
 * 2 – 3 class periods || Research events of WWII that fit into text || Computer with internetword processing softwarenote taking software or organization software ||
 * 2-3 class periods || Write and edit articles for newspaper || Computer with internetword processing softwarenote taking software or organization software ||
 * 2 class periods || Construct newspaper || Computer with internetword processing software ||
 * 1-2 class periods || Students share newspaper || Projector with computer connectivity ||

Monitor

Assessments: Students will be provided a rubric that will cover the necessary content and expectations for the newspaper. They will also do a self assessment and a group assessment.

Accommodations and Extensions: Provide websites in advance to limit searching. Show students how to use text to speech to have content read the them. Explain note taking and introduce Citation machine to help students create citations.

Evaluation

Students will be provided with real time feedback as they work in groups. Articles will be shared and revised as needed.

Hi Robin, Nice job outlining your objectives and assessments. I like that your spend time discussing what newspapers cover and providing them with samples also aids in comprehension of the task. Also, providing consistent feedback is a great way to keep students motivated and focused on the objectives.Best,Kristy Robin, I like your PBL. This activity could lend itself to social networking where you collaborate with experts on WWII. Also, you could have WWII guests come in to speak with the children. This will add background knowledge and interest in the activity, not that there isn't any already. My grandfather was a WWII hero, who earned the Naval Cross and a Purple Heart, so I find this activity extremely interesting! I like how you use technology throughout the activity. A rubric is a great way to assess their learning. Cool activity! Jackie

Robin, This is an awesome activity for the Holocaust. If you don't mind I would like to share this idea with the group of educators that is working on the digital textbook grant with me. The Literacy Specialist that is on our team would definitely be interested. Were you thinking of having a peer editing component as well? Two resources that we have used for the grant are the US Holocaust Museum and University of Southern Florida. []

Monitor

Assessments: Walk through class and monitor projects. Assess work environment as students are creating their content. Evaluate content online.

Accommodations and Extensions: Provide students with disabilities the environment in which to dictate content while it is transcribed.

Evaluation

Students will be provided with real time feedback as they work in groups. Articles will be shared and revised as needed.

Robin,By allowing students to have real time feedback, you are allowing them the opportunity to work collaboratively through technology. I have to admit, that I have really enjoyed using our Wiki for feedback, becuase it allows all of us to be a collaborative group, sharing our ideas and thoughts based on our own individual plans. Keep up the great work!Samantha R. Robin, I like that students will be collaborating on how to edit and modify their work. It is difficult to get students to go back and edit; this is a great way to prepare them for college. Traci
