Finishing Up Chapter 12, The Holocaust Letter

Today we finished up Chapter 12 which covered Western Europe. While we discussed events going back to Medieval times, I stressed the events of World War I and World War II strongly. I gave particular emphasis to the Holocaust. In fact, in lieu of a standard test over Chapter 12, I have assigned the students another project that will count as their Summative grade for the Chapter (see instructions below). I have also provided a link to a short Holocaust documentary we watched in class that may be helpful to students as they complete this assignment.
