Primary and Secondary Sources Explained by Common Craft. Way back in 1703, a massive storm hit the southern coast of England.

Holocaust Education OpportunitiesCurriculum Proposal. Children of the Holocaust: created with Zunal WebQuest Maker. Holocaust Picture Books: An Annotated List. After many requests, I've finished compiling an annotated list of Holocaust books.
I resisted the urge to categorize them by grade level, as I feel they can be used effectively in both upper elementary and middle grades. First, however, I wanted to make special mention of one of the newer Holocaust picture books available. Irena's Jars of Secrets by Marcia Vaughan, illustrated by Ron Mazellan, is a wonderful and important addition to the canon of children's literature on the Holocaust (see the full list below), and certainly one worth adding to your own library. Student Essays Argue Holocaust Didn't Happen in Controversial California Assignment. (Shutterstock) In April, a Rialto, California school asked 2,000 of its 8th-grade students to debate, in an essay, whether the Holocaust happened.
Students were given materials from About.com and the History Channel, as well as writings from leading Holocaust deniers, and were tasked with concluding whether or not “this was an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth.” Now, the San Bernadino Sun, which broke the news of the exams, has published images of the students’ essays.
The disturbing mini-tracts, riddled with spelling errors that would probably in other circumstances seem charming, fly squarely in the face of the school’s assertions that the assignment was designed to engage critical thinking skills, and that of course none of the students came to the conclusion that the Holocaust didn’t happen.

ESSA—and Federal Support of School Libraries—Signed Into Law. President Obama has signed S. 1177, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, the latest rewrite of the long-standing Elementary and Secondary Education Act, ESEA).
It’s the first piece of federal education legislation in over 50 years to provide revenue for school libraries to enhance services and resources. The bill sailed through the House on December 2 with a vote of 359 to 64 and passed in the Senate on December 9 with a vote of 85 to 12. President Obama, calling the bipartisan agreement a “Christmas miracle,” signed it into law on December 10. “All-important language” secured First and foremost, the definition of “specialized instructional support personnel” in ESEA is now updated to include “school librarians.”

Give students a voice with Flipgrid. Flipgrid is an interesting application for asynchronous communication.
It was developed by the LT Media Lab at the University of Minnesota. Flipgrid allows a teacher (or account holder) to post a short written question and students can answer that question with a video message that is limited to 90 seconds. All the video responses end up in a grid which makes it visually very attractive and very easy to listen to what your colleagues have to say.
The tool works as follows: after your registration you create a grid and then you can add questions/discussion prompts to your grid. With a free account you can set up 4 grids (think classes or goups of students) and you can add as many questions as you like to each grid. Every question generates a URL that allows you to invite your students via e-mail. Turnitin for K-12. RubiStar Home. Parents & Teachers.
