Museum Box Holocaust Project
 
Thinking about what you have learned about the Holocaust in your various classes, choose one of the following questions and create a museum box to try to find the answer. There is no one answer to any of the questions.
 
• How did the Holocaust happen?
• Who caused the Holocaust?
• How were various groups dehumanized during the Holocaust?
• How did people survive the Holocaust?
 
Using the Musuem Box website, make a 6 sided-cube that address the following aspects of your chosen question:
 
1. Describe it (who, what, when, where, why) How would you describe the issue/topic?
2. Compare it (what it is similar to or different from)—“It’s sort of like”
3. Associate it (what it makes you think of)—How does the topic connect to other issues/subjects?
4. Analyze it (tell how it is made or what it is composed of)—How would you break the problem/issue into smaller parts?
5. Apply it (tell how it can be used to teach you something)—How does it help you understand other topics/issues?
6. Argue for/against it (take a stand give your opion)—I am for this because/This works because/I agree because/my opinion on this topic it
