The Holocaust through Film
As the Daffodil Dash extra opportunity above has a price associated with it and is limited to those whose schedules can accommodate attending on the 30th, I would like to offer an alternative extra credit assignment for those who can’t participate. Again on the theme of our studies of 20th Century Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing, I would like to give students the chance to watch and review one of the following films concerning the Holocaust: Defiance, Life is Beautiful, the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Schindler's List, or The Pianist. Most of these films are available on Netflix and many can be streamed using other on-line providers. Student film reviews should range between 750 and 1000 words and should include: (1) a brief summary of the film, (2) an evaluation of the film's relation to history and (3) a personal opinion of the quality/appeal of the film (each of these topics should be afforded a dedicated paragraph in the review). All reviews must be typed and marked with a parent signature indicating permission to participate in the exercise as some films have adult ratings. Exceptional assignments will net students up to 10 extra credit test points. This assignment is due and will be collected on Friday, April 18th.
The Daffodil Dash
I would like to offer an extra credit opportunity to students in relation to our upcoming studies of 20th Century Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing. Each year Am Yisrael Chai!, a non-profit Holocaust Education and Awareness organization arranges a 5K road race (the Daffodil Dash) in remembrance of children who died in the Holocaust. This year the race is being held on Sunday, March 30th and will conclude with two speakers (Manuela Bornstein, a Holocaust Survivor who endured a childhood in Nazi occupied France and Ngor Kur Mayol, a former “Lost Boy” from South Sudan). Each speaker will give a brief (5 - 7 minute) presentation at the end of the race. As an opportunity for students to earn 10 extra credit test points, I would like for them to register for the race and watch a short (9 minute) video from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum about the Holocaust and genocide in the world today (the video is available at http://www.ushmm.org/remember/days-of-remembrance/about-days-of-remembrance/why-we-remember-the-holocaust). Students should then attend and participate in the race. Many of the participants walk the race, so please don’t let your athletic ability hinder you from competing. After finishing the race and listening to the speakers, students should write a short (between 750 and 1000 words) essay on their experience in the race, and how the speakers’ experiences and the video relate to the curriculum provided to us by the CollegeBoard. All reviews must be typed. Race registration can be completed by visiting http://www.daffodildash.org/daffodil/CompleteRegistration.asp?fkroledescid=1. Please, if you or your child plan on attending the event, make sure to sign-up for the “North Springs” team under the Fundraising section (there is no obligation for them to actually fundraise, I simply want to keep the group together as we represent the school). This assignment is due and will be collected on Friday, April 18th. Please come out and join us for an fun and educational walk/run at the end of the month!
