With one unit to go, we find our journey reaching its natural end. Seeking to fit all of the pieces together and emerge with something new and fundamental, we find ourselves at a point in which all of our learning has to converge in the study of the Holocaust.
This week, we start the new unit. We will be working through the factual basis of the Second World War and then focus in on the Holocaust with an arrangement of Holocaust themes through the visual representation of Piet Mondrian. A letter will be accompanying students next week explaining how this study will commence.
Brief reminders: Students have their final Close Reading Assignment due on 4.25. This will be the last out of class assignment for the year.
Below is our work for the week. It has been an honor and a privilege to guide students thus far and to continue to serve them is an honor I shall always treasure.
All best.
