Project Based Learning: Understanding Jewish Resistance

Categories Holocaust 
grades:  Middle School (6-8) 

Lesson Summary:

From Facing History and Ourselves:

"This lesson is a student-driven learning project based on the stories of individual partisans that makes use of our Explore the Partisans section and other resources from the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation’s website. We encourage educators to implement the Understanding Resistance lesson prior to beginning this project to ensure that students have built sufficient foundational knowledge about the partisans.

The project culminates in a student-created classroom museum exhibition about the Jewish partisans. Through the careful exploration of individual partisans’ experiences, students can arrive at a larger understanding and appreciation of the Jewish resistance movement during the Holocaust."



Objectives

Students will be able to:

  • Understand the term “Jewish partisan”
  • Define and discuss the concept of resistance
  • Relate the importance of resistance to the Jewish partisans
  • Summarize the goals of the Jewish partisans
  • Analyze words and phrases written by Abba Kovner in his call to resistance

Be Inspired:The ideas included are offered as starting points as you and your students explore, discover and live the lessons. Be sure to elicit and encourage student and parent participation, consistently reinforcing the value being addressed. Allow lessons to authentically develop and change based on engagement and interests.
