Literature & Writing Combined this Week

Look at this list of Holocaust Resistors.  Pick one to research.  Click on their name to go to the linked article on them.  You may have to do other research as well.  Then you will write an informational essay.  Follow these details.  Due Friday.

• In this writing assignment, you will research a person who actively resisted the Nazis and took significant action to save lives during the Holocaust. In a four-paragraph informational essay, you will explain how this individual Resister exemplifies the idea that "people are really good at heart." 
  You should:

  • Develop research questions (what was this person's background, what work did they do, how exactly did they save lives, etc.)

  • Perform online research

  • Differentiate between credible/useful sources and those that are not

  • Effectively quote and paraphrase information (we want to be sure there is no plagiarism so make sure you quote or cite sources) 

  • Include an introduction, conclusion, and two body paragraphs

  • Provide a bibliography and appropriately cite sources (I can help you do this when you get there.)
