The sheets offer students the opportunity to pursue a rarely touched upon area of the Holocaust/Genocide further in three pieces of homework over consecutive weeks (this can obviously be altered to suite your own needs).
The sheets could be utilised as extension work, independent study lessons (with internet) if preferred to homework. They were designed for high ability KS3, but would be suitable for KS4 and could easily be adapted for KS5.
The choice element will motivate students to really engage with and produce high quality homework and encourage independent study. The three topics are:
Other genocides - The Rwandan Genocide
Holocaust Denial (I am still not sure about offering students this option, but included it after watching the 2016 film Denial. The sheet itself addresses the issue as to whether historians should engage with the arguments of denial at all)
Commemoration of the Holocaust
Differentiation: Within each choice of topic there are three sets of homework tasks which increase in challenge as students progress using Blooms Taxonomy. More or less the tasks take students from identifying material to organising and explaining it before creating or evaluating the content.
In addition to this, each sheet has books, websites and films/documentaries which students can use to pursue their enquiry/curiosity further.
The tasks themselves are varied and will appeal to all learning styles, particularly auditory and visual learners. They include making timelines, tables and summary diagrams. Speaking to family members. Individual research to garner information and answer questions and creating a textbook page, memorial or exhibition.
Finally, each sheet also incorporates an SMSC style questions relating to either freedom of speech, the challenges of future Holocaust commemoration or the failure of the international community to prevent genocide.
