In our English class this month, we learned about the holocaust from the eyes of those who lived it. Students read the autobiography Night, by Elie Wiesel. We then watched an in class video, Life is Beautiful, which focuses on the plight of Italian Jews during WWII. Students then created their own newsletter using Microsoft Publisher from the focal point of an underground resistance newsletter. Their final project was to create a podcast within their assigned groups. In their podcast they imagined themselves a news-broadcaster during the bombing of London, advising residents of the damage incurred, as well as different battles fought between the Allies and the Axis powers.
