Holocaust Text Set

EDRD 730S
March 13, 2012
Rationale:
This text set is to be used in a high school World History from 1300: Making of the Modern World class as a supplement to a textbook. South Carolina state standards call for each student to understand the causes and effects of global warfare in the first half of the twentieth century. This text set is specifically designed to address the South Carolina State standard MWH – 7.1 which states that students will be able to “Analyze the relative importance of economic and political rivalries, ethnic and ideological conflicts, social class, militarism, and imperialism as underlying causes of World War I and World War II, including the role of nationalism and propaganda in mobilizing civilian populations around the world to support the two world wars”.
In the context of the course, the Holocaust is just one part but it is extremely important to understanding the United States' involvement in World War II. This text set aims to aid students' understanding of the implications and effects that the Holocaust had on the entire world. By using picture books, young adult novels, non-fiction books, movies, YouTube videos, pictures and websites the students will learn through interactive and varied ways about the Holocaust and World War II.
