further study.

Publish & Share
a.
Students can print and assemble handbooks, then present their research to peers and other members
of the school community. Invite teachers and staff to attend or coordinate with other related classes.
Each group can select one item from their handbook to present and share via a verbal presentation,
an accompanying visual aid, or an interactive student-led discussion.
Modifications & Adaptations
If handbooks are created as a collaborative group project, each student should select items from the suggested list
above that spark his or her interest. If completed as individual projects, students could select at least five items.
This project could also be used as a culminating assessment at the end of a Holocaust/genocide unit as a way for
students to synthesize a large body of knowledge into a single product. If used in this manner, the handbook could
be referenced and worked on in smaller sessions throughout the unit of study, rather than three consecutive classes.
