Week 4--Thursday, May 21--Final Project List

Hello! I hope you learned a lot from reading Night and got a chance to finish the propaganda activity yesterday. Elie Weisel was such an amazing person who used his life to help others who were less fortunate. He truly is a hero in so many ways and his story shows us how quickly life can change, but also how strong people can be in the face of adversity.

The last item we usually do for the class is a short research project  on a topic from the holocaust that you are interested in. This is such a short class, but there are so many interesting facets to study. Can you take a look at the following list and let me know which one you'd like to research? You will just be making a PowerPoint about the topic that includes about 7 slides. Let me know which one you want today by filling in this FORM. It will be fine if people end up with the same topics. I will share the full assignment tomorrow!
