PBH Due 5.20.13

Hello All,

Both classes, please do the following:

I. Research and write four examples of discriminatory practices against your race in the United States. Explain why it happened and how it is affecting your ethnicity today? How is it similar or not to how Jews were treated during the Holocaust?

II. Make sure to go to the library to select a Holocaust fiction book of your choice for in class independent reading if you have not done so already. There are still some students who do not have their books for their book group. I posted the Holocaust Fiction books web links two weeks ago but I will post it again for your benefit.

III. Reread the final task and think about what you would like to focus your end of unit project on. If you are interested in creating a Holocaust poetry portfolio, the outline will be given to you this week.
Reminder
