Holocaust Projects.

I have uploaded pictures of two of the projects that I received from my students. My students were given the opportunity to earn extra credit in my class by designing a Holocaust project and entering it in the St. Louis Holocaust Museum Annual Contest. I received many great entries in the forms of projects, drawings, photographs, essays, and poems. I am so proud of my students and wanted to share a few of the pictures. Enjoy.

There is a video that shows how the game works, and how the students will learn from it, at 360Ed. Just click on Conspiracy Code and enjoy!
