This unit includes a pre-assessment to introduce students to the subtleties of distinguishing fact from opinion and determi

Modern Day Genocide Project (to accompany Night or a study of the Holocaust)

They are instructed to find the causes of the event, people who tried to stop it, and the results of the event. They create an outline, works cited, visual, and oral presentation.
