What Was The Holocaust?
Internet Research
Your tasks in this lesson:
You are to search for information about the Holocaust and use that information to write answers to the three questions below:
1. What was the Holocaust? -This is designed for you to write a brief overview of the events called the Holocaust
2. What happened during the Holocaust? -This is a more detailed question with more relevance on facts and figures and examples
3. Did any countries do anything to help stop the events of the Holocaust? -E.g., find out about the USA, the UK, Sweden and China
Sounds straightforward but in order to do this task properly you will also have to show evidence that you have been selective in your research. This evidence must not only be accurate but must also come from different Internet sites. It is important that you do not give just one point of view.
Follow the tasks A, B and C:
A. Spend a little time examining different Holocaust websites. With different searches you may find some that are more relevant than others in helping you answer those questions.
B. When you have found good information at a website that will help you answer the questions, copy and paste the page containing most of that information into a new word file and save in your documents folder. Remember not to copy the whole website, only the relevant pages.
C. In your new word doc you must click on the Highlight tool in the toolbar (which looks like a little highlighting pen) and carefully drag the curser over what you consider to be the most relevant sections. Now highlight those sections in red.
Only when you have done this can you check with your teacher if it’s ok to print!
Now in your booklets you are to write your answers the questions by putting all that relevant information in your own words:
1. What was the Holocaust?
2. What happened during the Holocaust?
3. Did any countries do anything to help stop the events of the Holocaust?
