COLLABORATIVE+FORUM


 * Here is a forum where we can all share ideas, topics, and lesson plans that have been or may be successful. Below a compiled list of ideas from the google document you all contributed to last week.**


 * What has happened to communities that were involved in the Holocaust (Jewish, Gypsy, German) since then? Did these groups fundamentally change? Disappear? What lessons do these people feel that they have learned?
 * What have we learned from the Holocaust towards preventing genocide in the world today? Where are there current threats of genocide? How can we use “the genocide project” (www.preventorprotect.org) to aid in our understanding of current events?
 * To go with the final essential questions - the Palestinian / Israel conflicts and recreation of Jewish Ghettos in Palestine?
 * Describe the Gypsy community now and in European history.
 * Are there characteristics of certain groups that cause them to be discriminated against more than others?
 * Are there characteristics of certain groups that make them more susceptible to becoming bigots and racists?
 * What microcommunities exist and how can can we use them to study the larger communities?
 * How physical geography also creates nations/national identities
 * European Union? How and why was it formed? Who was it to benefit? Successes/Failures? Loopholes?
 * Fall of Eastern Europe -- how different political groups interact in Europe
 * Should America involve/have involved themselves in European conflicts?
 * Great Britain v. France
 * Sicilian Independence as it continues today -- i.e. is Europe done developing nations?
