 * Daniel Agnello** - This is a very critical aspect of 20th century history, especially WWII. I think you picked very complimenting texts. The first text explains why it occurred, as the second and third give a personal first hand account of what actually happened. The fourth text timeline gives a good sense of the holocaust progression, as the fifth text further goes into depth of its development. Videos and pictures of the freed camps and the gas chambers are very powerful images. Some descriptions of the text seem a little broad, but overall I think it is organized really well. Maybe you should go more in depth into the application of the texts during the lesson?
