Anne Frank/Holocaust Research Project



Anne Frank/Holocaust Research Project

Directions:

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has approached our class to help them create several exhibits to display in their museum. Your job, as a historian, is to research a topic from the attached list-only one historian per topic. You will prepare 25 note cards, a bibliography, and a visual aid to be used in your exhibit. Dr. Howes-Stevenson, a curator at the museum, is scheduled to be in class to listen to each historian’s oral presentation starting on Tuesday, March 10, 2009.

You will be given two research days in the library to find information. You may use any books, as well as the computer to research. You will need at least three sources, none of which can be an encyclopedia (Wikipedia is an encyclopedia). In addition, you may use reliable websites, but at least two of your sources must be books. You will be given at least two class periods to work on any aspect of your project, including a visual aid. Visual aids may include; a poster, handout, PowerPoint, slideshow, scrapbook, or website you create. If you think of a visual aid idea that is not stated above you must see me for approval.

You must provide your own note cards, poster board, scrapbooking supplies, flash drives, etc. I can provide materials to help create your visual aid (crayons, markers, glue, and construction paper), research materials, and instruction on how to create a bibliography in MLA format.

You may use myself, parents, librarians, and other teachers for help in research, but your presentation and all work turned in must be your own. Below is a list of topics for you to choose from. On the back of this paper is the rubric I will use to score your project. The rubric must be attached to the project to receive a grade.
