The Holocaust is a deeply sensitive topic, so these 3 complete lessons allow students to emphasize and show respect. They provide support for students who may feel emotionally affected and they encourage students to focus on human resilience, courage, and empathy in their writing.
So why did I create this Primary version of this lesson?
I wanted younger students to understand the Holocaust and gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust’s historical context and human impact.
I wanted to develop my younger students writing skill by using descriptive language, character development, and perspective in storytelling.
What is includes:
Pair work
Class discussion
Group work

Starter Activities
Peer assessment
In each powerpoint I have created short interesting tasks that can be used as pairs work or individual to keep them all engaged, while being able to stretch and challenge the more able student.
