After reading Night, you have gleaned some insight
into two of the most horrific attempts at genocide in the history of the
world. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a
national, racial, political, or cultural group.
Your task now is to create a PowerPoint about at least two instances of genocide. **If you would like to work in a group, you MUST add two more instances
per group member and you MUST work on a collaborative tool, such as Google
Docs. You should include the Holocaust and
Darfur in Sudan as your two minimum instances of genocide. I have included Darfur
as a requirement because of the local presence of Sudanese refugees in and
around our community who have been fortunate to escape the atrocities committed
in Darfur , a region of Sudan . Here are some quality websites to get you
started with your research:
Genocide Watch. <http://www.genocidewatch.org/>
Each of the genocide incidents that you discuss should cover
the following:
- Who
perpetrated the attacks and who was targeted?
- Where
and when did/is this happen(ing)?
- Why
did this happen? What were the
causes?
- How
many people have been affected (deaths, injuries, refugees)?
- What has
happened to those affected?
- What
has happened to those who perpetrated violence?
- What
other affects have occurred as a result (to the government of affected
countries as well as the response of other countries, especially)?
Your project should include: a title slide, at least two
slides for each of your examples of genocide, and on your last slide, YOU MUST
INCLUDE A BIBLIOGRAPHY. So, keep track
of ANY websites where you get your information and pictures/graphics, and
please avoid wikipedia since anyone can contribute to or change any entry on
this site; since these are highly controversial topics and I am giving you
plenty of time, you can avoid this resource!
Please refer to the
rubric below.
Who perpetrated the attacks and who was targeted?
Where and when did/is this happen(ing)?
Why did this happen?
What were the causes?
How many people have been affected (deaths, injuries,
refugees)?
What has happened to those affected? What has happened to
the perpetrators?
What other affects have occurred as a result?
DON’T FORGET: Title page, creativity, neatness, inclusion of
appropriate graphics, and a
Bibliography!
