Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - 01/20/15

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.

HOMEWORK
1.) Polished copies of your essays put together in this order:  (from top to bottom)  writing rubric, essay, works cited page, graphing rubric, data table, graph  **I do not need your prewriting, rough draft or graphic organizers  DUE ON THURSDAY

2.) I need to see your book or your book title and author of your outside Holocaust reading book.

3.) Finish 6,000,000 activity.

4.) Holocaust Word Work - Find a word, phrase, person or event that is related to the Holocaust for your word work assignment this week.

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.
