- TAAS Reading Objectives:
- Word meanings

- Perceive relationships and recognize outcomes
- Analyze information to make inferences and generalizations
Learning Objectives:
This activity will help you better understand the persecution, specifically
Kristallnacht, of the Jews during Hitler's leadership of Germany in 1938.
This will help us better understand what Anne Frank and her family endured as
we read her diary. You will read informative text from the web site of the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and summarize and draw conclusions
based on your reading.
Design of Activities:
The students will have a worksheet to guide them through the various pages in
the web site. Questions have specifically been created to fit the learning
objectives stated earlier. Students will make notes/answers on the worksheet.
Internet Resources:
Kristallnacht ("Night of the Broken Glass")
Assessment: Students will use their worksheets for class
discussion following completion of this activity. Students will be allowed to
correct any responses or make further notes on their worksheets. Worksheets
will be retained to study for a test over this and other WWII and Holocaust
activities.
Evaluation:
The lesson was very successful. I would set aside more time for
implementation and discussion. Also, I would like to add a second web lesson
on the same subject and have students do more comparison/contrast of
information.
