Sample Curricula from Teachers, Summer 2000 Title VI Institute

The following curricula were produced at a summer workshop of teachers who have taught units of varying length about the Holocaust and genocide in high school and middle school. While CHGS may not be in agreement with all of the techniques used (we are rather wary about simulations and divisions of the class into two groups), we offer these as examples. The names of the instructors proposing these offerings has been removed. We hope that this material, in  whole or in part, will be useful for constructing courses of your own.
