UNIT 3
The Challenge to Make a Difference
Visual Prompt: What do you notice about this art? How does the artist use visual techniques for effect? How do you think the arts (artwork, music, literature, etc.) can help change the world?
Unit Overview
The world has dark pages in its history,
and at times the challenge of righting such immeasurable wrongs seems impossible. Reading narratives about the Holocaust will reveal the worst in human behavior, but it will also show how individuals can find light in
the darkness. In this unit, you will present the voices of fictional or real people who fought the darkness of the Holocaust by helping, hoping, or persevering. You will also apply the lessons of the past to start making a difference today by raising awareness and encouraging people to take action about a significant national or global issue.
