Week Fourteen - Nuremberg Trials and more

This Week

We finished up with our study of the Holocaust and its aftermath today after reading about the Nuremberg trials Wednesday and then "trying" the leaders of the Holocaust in a mock trial yesterday and today. Students learned about the challenges the Allies faced in trying the Nazi war criminals as well as what crimes they were actually charged with. Students also began discussing the books they are reading in language arts and comparing them to what they have studied in history class.

Upcoming Week

Next week students will continue on in our study of 20th century genocides by looking at the Cambodian and Bosnian genocides. We will also be moving on from Western European countries for our Geo Quiz and beginning to study Middle Eastern countries. Students can start studying for that one this weekend by practicing the test here.

Short update this week, but lots going on!

Have a great weekend,
