Students were assigned to research and study both a Holocaust rescuer and a Holocaust survivor. In order to facilitate research, students were provided a research pathfinder to find information and a bibliography template to cite sources used in the research.<\/p>\n

Working in groups, students made use of eLibrary, Biography in Context, Jewish Virtual Library and United States Holocaust Museum to learn more about the people who lived through the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Using their research, students then created fictional characters,and incorporated them in a short historical fiction reflection piece. Students also added pictures and created a bibliography of resources that were used in the project.<\/p>\n

Once the writing assignments were completed, the students created iBooks. To launch the ibooks, teachers Lisa Castellano, Ken Smead, the school’s Computer Resource Specialist, and Sonia Pritchett held a virtual book fair where teachers and administrators could view all the projects at one time.<\/p>\n

For those interested, the iBooks will be available in the iBook store this spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
