Eighth Grade Empathy: The Holocaust Unit
|
|
On Friday, February 1, 2019, CCA eighth graders focused on building empathy and compassion while participating in a Holocaust experience activity. This hands on activity made their Holocaust unit more personal. They began by standing in a darkened room with their peers as they listened to real life testimony from a survivor of the Holocaust that was transported on a cattle car. The eighth grade classes then moved to the innovation space where they followed the experiences Eli Wiesel, the author of "Night" and a Holocaust survivor. The activity wrapped up with students designing and sharing the museum exhibits they created.
