HOLOCAUST | CRITICAL THINKING PROJECT | READING COMPREHENSION | PRIMO LEVI

AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH

INTERACTIVE OR PRINT

This product focuses on the second chapter of Levi’s book called “The Gray Zone.” It is self-contained with a link to the chapter!!! No prep!!

I have taught The Drowned and The Saved several times over the past nine years, and I have found the book is one of the most thoughtful and harrowing I have ever read on the Holocaust.  Not only does Levi offer a unique perspective as a survivor, he also is loath to pass judgment on his persecutors. The book offers anecdotal evidence from his time at Auschwitz but much more.  His comments on the human condition are profound.  

THIS PRODUCT IS SELF-CONTAINED AND SUB READY!!!

Included in this product are the following:

⚫ 17 analysis prompts 

⚫ One prompt requires peer editing

⚫ 17 words to define

⚫ 12 pages for students and 14 slides for students

⚫ Information on Bloom’s Taxonomy

⚫ Sample answers to all of the questions 8 PAGES OF TEACHER NOTES

⚫ Sample images

⚫ A link to a PDF of the chapter used in this assignment

⚫ Instructions for students

⚫A link to my ANALYTICAL APPROACH ASSIGNMENT for students to use interactively through Classroom™ or other online programs. 

⚫ Information on Google Slides™ for teachers and students

⚫ Instructions for students when using the interactive version

I have taught the entire book, but I also ask the bookstore to create a reading package for my students – it often includes several readings on the Holocaust.  The cost is minimal to your students and the best option if you do not want to teach the entire book.

This assignment may be done online or during class time.  It may be done alone or in groups. I have my students do this assignment in groups of 3 or 4 and have found this works well.  They begin the assignment during class but complete it over a weekend and submit the answers before the next class. Before they begin this assignment, I do a review on Levi and the Holocaust.
