In this lesson, students will delve into a sensitive and thought-provoking historical event—the Jonestown cult and the tragic events that unfolded there.
The lesson begins with an exploration of the term “cult” to provide students with a clear understanding of its meaning.
It then offers a historical overview, shedding light on the charismatic leader, Jim Jones, and the series of events that led to the devastating tragedy.
The primary objective of this lesson is to foster critical thinking and empathy among students as they analyze the choices, emotions, and ethical dilemmas faced by the cult members.
