Directions:

Create a project that represents some aspect of the Holocaust. The ideas are endless! See below for possible project ideas. You should consider the following list when deciding what to create for the museum.

THE PROJECT SHOULD:

BE AUTHENTIC. It should represent something that could have been there, or something that demonstrates your knowledge of the topic. Your visitors should walk away knowing more about what the Holocaust experience really way. (Hint: using Barbie dolls, lego men, GI Joe figures is NOT considered authentic)

BE OF QUALITY. It should reflect time and effort spent to put together a finished project worthy of the museum. Late night, 13th hour, last minute projects do not qualify as quality work and that usually shows.

BE REFLECTIVE. It should show effort on your part to demonstrate your understanding of what Jewish people went through during the Holocaust.

BE PREPARED. The project needs to be completed on time-both the project and the placard that identifies what it represents and those who contributed to the making of it.

Project Ideas:

3-D displaysjournalssuitcases

crematoriums photo collages letters

scenes clothing samples replicas

detailed diagrams

You MUST complete the PROJECT PLANNING SHEET ahead of time to show what your plan is, who your group members are, and how each will contribute to the project.

Your projects will be displayed along with those from Mr. Sheridan's classes.

You will NOT need to be with your project on the night of the museum opening.

You may complete your project on your own or in a small group of up to three people (total) in your class hour.

Projects are worth 100 points. This will be a GROUP grade! Plan and participate accordingly.
