Through the Eyes of a Survivor

Updated copies of documents and links for presentation on collaborative unit covering the concept of survivorship through technology and art:

Audacity Handout
Holocaust Survivor Wiki/Podcast Lesson Plan
Holocaust Survivor Podcast/Wiki Handout
Degenerate Art Lesson Plan
Art Comparison Student Handout
"Stained Glass" Window Directions for Students
Survivor Today Podcast Assignment
Survivor Now Podcast/Wiki Instructions
WikiSpaces Directions (although the student samples below were created using PBWiki, we have switched to WikiSpaces for student projects because we feel it is a bit easier to use and a lot easier to control from the teacher perspective of being able to lock out pages, giving each student a username and password in advance, etc.)

The following links are to the projects students created - podcasts and wikis:
http://mhsholocaustsurvivor.pbwiki.com
http://mhssurvivor.pbwiki.com

Students listened to their original stories of survival at - http://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/interviews
