This program will focus on the materials and strategies available in Echoes and Reflections and IWitness to effectively teach "Night," as well as additional background on the memoir that can be integrated into instruction across a variety of disciplines.
Participants will:
Explore the history of antisemitism and ghettos for context prior to teaching "Night."
Examine significant themes of the memoir and resources to support the teaching of the text.
Learn effective teaching strategies to help students understand what happened, why it happened, and how it relates to difficult issues they face today.
Enhance your repertoire of interdisciplinary materials, including artwork, photos, poetry and first-person narratives for teaching about the "Final Solution."
Learn about IWitness, an online complement to Echoes and Reflections that includes interactive student-centered activities.
"Possibly one of the best learning experiences I have ever been a part of." Reading Coach, Brevard Public Schools, Brevard, FL.
