Concentration Camp Tour 1 |
Buchenwald is the first stop on your tour of concentration camps. You will have an individual task as well as a group task to complete once your have completed all videos, reading, and links. This will help begin driving our research as well as connect our research to our historical fiction reading group books! Please read and follow the instructions carefully! |
Tour Instructions:
1. Begin your journey by watching Video 1: Elie Weisel Interview.
2. Watch Video 2: Buschenwald, Germany
3. Take a minute to gather your thoughts. When you are ready, please respond to the Canvas Discussion board titled: "Camp Tour 1: Buchenwald." This post should be a reflection on your feelings towards what you have watched so far.
First Task: Individual
Your task is to research the Life of Adolf Hitler. Using the links below you will look at his early childhood until his teenage years, young adult, and adulthood life. You are searching these areas to gain insight into the genesis of his anger towards the “Jewish people”. Later on, you will decide as a group who will research what aspect of his life, then begin your research. (Example: childhood, family, education, religious background, etc.) As you read through the information, take notes. Write down important information as well as dates that would help you to create a timeline of Hitler's life.

Second Task: Group task
Using your research, create a timeline of Adolf Hitler's life. You will be using your notes and working in teams of 3 or 4. Follow these instructions:
1. Turn in your completed notes for a grade.
2. Find your team members by looking at the document on Canvas Announcements. Team members must have completed/ graded notes. Just because your notes have a grade, does not mean they are complete. Make sure that you have notes for all aspects of his lifetime.
3. Plan out your timeline before you start drawing on the paper - YOU WILL NOT GET A SECOND PIECE.
4. BEFORE putting anything on your timeline paper, your group (or you as an individual) will do a rough draft on a piece of notebook paper.
5. Discuss your notes with your group and decide what is most important for your timeline. If you both have a note, it is probably important. If a note does'n have a date, it may not need to be on the timeline.
6. Number your combined notes as you would order the information on the timeline. ( Look at teacher example.)
7. Get your timeline paper. You will use a 3 foot length of paper from the rolls provided. (Individuals will use a 2 foot length of paper). To measure, use the tiles on the floor. Each floor tile is 12" x 12".
8. Put the hour and names of all group members in the top left (front) of the long paper. This is important because you will not finish today.
9. Make sure to use rulers or meter sticks for any line drawing.
8. Neatness will be important when sharing your dates and facts.
At the end of class, put your paper on the counter
