I just saw a post shared by Scott Petri about a Middle School creating an interactive lesson on the Holocaust. It struck me for many reasons which I will get to as we examine this week's topic. The first reason was that it happened at a Middle School just about 20 minutes from me and yet Scott who is from California was the one sharing this event with me. Please watch and check out the write up of this amazing learning activity. Holocaust Living Museum Watching this made me think about the conversation I am having with Jason Bretzmann's #tlap book chat on Voxer about creating engaging lessons and fun in your classroom. Imagine how impactful this lesson is for students and for those who are able to experience the lesson with this class. QuestionsLet's Break down the lesson- Q1 What do you think of this lesson?
