The
project integrates empathic investigative learning of the Holocaust
with the systematic experimentation in writing a research paper in
History using Internet resources. In the course of the project the
students analyze various kinds of historical sources, they define
research questions and will write a paper which analyses and
synthesizes the information. The ICT environment include a database of
primary sources and research works, links to other sites, and an
environment for supporting a dialogue among students from different
schools, between students and specialists in different aspects of the
subject matter, and between the students and virtual mentors. The
course begins with a visit to the Museum “Terezin House” and
concludes in the “Holocaust Memorial Day”.
The
target populations for “To live in
Terezin” are 9th grade classrooms in History; Research
paper for alternative evaluation and/or Computing; Classrooms
preparing for 5 units in the Matriculation examinations in History;
Classrooms that are not preparing the Matriculation and are
experimenting with alternative evaluation through research papers.
