Holocaust | The Mass Murder of Jews in the Second World War Under Adolf Hitler the National Socialist German Worker’s Party became very powerful in Germany from 1933 to 1945. The Nazis, as they were called, wanted to get rid of people who they thought were not as good as they were. They especially hated Jews and thought they were evil . At the beginning they made life hard for the Jews in Germany and all over Europe. After 1939 about 6 million Jews were killed in the countries that Hitler controlled. Hating Jews and treating them badly is called anti-Semitism. In 1935 the Nazis passed a new law . On November 9th and 10th, 1938 the Nazis destroyed all Jewish synagogues and other public places the Jews went to. The Night of Broken Glass Soon thousands of Jews were arrested and locked up in special camps . The Nazis decided that they had to solve what they called “the Jewish problem” once and for all . At first, the outside world thought that these camps were places where Jews and other prisoners had to work. Anne Frank Words
War witness Can you google that? – informationssökning på engelska | Mias klassrum Att internet flyttat in i våra klassrum är det ingen som har missat, men att det smugit sig in bland kunskapskraven är det många som missat, försöker låtsas om att de inte sett eller helt enkelt tycker är riktigt jobbigt. Men det finns ju där, vad vi än tycker om det. Det ska undervisas och bedömas, säga vad man vill om det. Att gå in på hur relevant och effektivt eleverna återanvänder sina sökresultat i sin egna produktion är en diskussion i sig, men nu tänkte jag fokusera på själva undervisningen. Can you google that? Som en del av övningen gör eleverna en självskattning, hämtad från bedömningsstödet. Efter genomgång och självskattning får eleverna öva på att söka information. Filen med övningen kan ni hämta här. Den som följt min blogg känner säkert igen frågorna, de är hämtade från det här inlägget. När vi avslutat denna övning kommer eleverna att få genomföra något av de olika prov som finns i Skolverkets bedömningsstöd.
Anne Frank Who Was Anne Frank? During the two years and one month Anne Frank spent hiding in a Secret Annex in Amsterdam during World War II, she kept a diary. Anne Frank's diary, which was published by her father after the war and has been read by millions of people around the world, chronicles both the tensions and difficulties of living in such a confined space for that long a duration as well as Anne's struggles with becoming a teenager. Since the publication of her diary, Anne Frank has become a symbol of the children that were murdered in the Holocaust. Dates: June 12, 1929 -- March 1945 Also Known As: Annelies Marie Frank The Move to Amsterdam Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany as the second child of Otto and Edith Frank.

Hédi Fried överlevde Auschwitz De visste inte vart de kommit. Efter tre dagar föstes Hédi Fried, hennes mamma, pappa och syster ut ur den överfyllda godsvagnen. Framför dem stod den ökände nazisten Josef Mengele. Innan tågfärden började hade de fått höra att de skulle till det inre av Ungern. Över 1 miljon människor mördades i Auschwitz, de allra flesta judar. Hédi Fried, i dag 90 år, är en överlevande som kan berätta om fasorna. – Det var som att leva i en grå bubbla. Hédi Fried, eller Hédi Szmuk som hon hette som ogift, var 19 år när hon och hennes familj deporterades till Auschwitz. Hon hade haft en lycklig barndom och vanlig uppväxt i en judisk medelklassfamilj i staden Sighet i Transsylvanien i norra Rumänien. – Egentligen började förändringarna 1940, när ungrarna annekterade Transsylvanien. – Men den 19 mars 1944 kom tyskarna till Ungern och därmed till Sighet. Efter tre dagar i den överfyllda godsvagnen knuffades de ner på selektionsrampen. – Soldater började skrika "män till höger, kvinnor till vänster".
The Heroes Unit: Subunit 1 – Qualities of a Hero and the Heroic Journey – The... This is a mammoth of a blog post, so I am going to split it up into three parts for your viewing pleasure.This unit is on Heroes with three subunits – fictional heroes, modern day heroes and personal heroes. You can go through it in about 2 -3 months. Do me a favour. Ask your students who their heroes are. I was quite shocked when not very many students could identify a hero in their life or even someone to look up to. And that’s how I begin this unit. I push the little muffins by questioning the hell out of them -what’s the difference between an idol and a hero? “Well – an idol is someone you think is really cool.” Yes, but so is a hero. “An idol is someone famous.” But now you are generalizing – what about Malala? “An idol is like a role model, and a hero is like somebody who has helped you in your life.” But couldn’t a hero help you indirectly? Keep questioning them – make them think. There are many other questions you can go through to make them think. Lesson Plan 8A – What is a Hero?
Creating characters and setting | Mitt öppna klassrum Förmågor: Ni kommer att få arbeta med att utveckla ert skrivande, läsande och strategier för detta inom engelskan. Skrivandet kommer ni få utveckla genom att läsa och skriva om karaktärer och miljö i gestaltande form. Att göra: Vi börjar med att läsa olika miljöbeskrivningar. Här finns en bild för att hjälpa er på traven med personbeskrivningarna och vilka delar man kan beskriva: Vi kommer sedan titta på ett filmklipp ur Divergent samt att jag högläser en del av texten högt för er. Utdraget handlar om personen Four och hans rädslor. Ni ska sedan få en skrivuppgift kopplad till detta. Här är skrivuppgiften: Four har fyra rädslor därav hans namn. Ni kommer få arbeta med kamratbedömning av texterna. Bedömning: Hur du bidrar i samtalen och utvecklar innehållet i dem. Hur du tolkar budskap i text/vidgad text (film). Hur du utvecklar och utrycker dig i dina skriftliga svar i skrivuppgifterna ovan. Hur du visar på strategier och använder dig av dem. Hur väl du ger och använder dig av kamratresponsen.
