All heroes are afraid. The protagonist of the novel, Projekt 1965 refuses to let his fears stand in the way of doing what is right. This historical fiction novel will help our students learn about the Holocaust while providing multiple teaching points on the role of the bystander, victim, perpetrator, and up stander.
We must ensure that our students learn about the Holocaust. We will align our curriculum with the social studies classroom to further educate, engage, and impact our students so that they will "never forget" one of the darkest chapters of our collective human history and so they can analyze civic responsibility.
The Holocaust provides ample learning opportunities to examine morality in an immoral world. By structuring lesson plans so students can investigate motivations of human behavior, students can reflect on choices made within the context of the novel and beyond.
How do I prepare our students for the rigorous NY State ELA Common Core exam? I've learned how to write CCLS aligned questions that parallel the skills and strategies assessed on the state exam so my students prepare for the exam through novel studies that I supplement with non-fiction texts! All of my material is original, fresh, and engaging because our students deserve more than workbooks and practice exams yet they also must be pushed to answer rigorous questions that require deep levels of critical thinking. It's like blending the veggies into the sauce so they don't even realize they are studying!
