USHMM Maps

  1. Fold your paper Cornell style
  2. Title your Notes- "Holocaust Maps"
  3. Due to the size of each individuals writing, I would recommend you write the titles as you view the maps, this way you are not limited on space. Some notes may be up to two pages long.
  4. You will watch each video and write down 3 facts for each
  5. You will also reflect on the new information you learned after each video by reflecting on what you learned from the map in three or more sentences. This reflection can be a mix of facts, thoughts, opinions, and questions.
  6. Repeat process for each video
WWII and the Holocaust
The Holocaust
Dachau
Auschwitz
Warsaw Ghetto
The Voyage of the St. Louis  
An example of Map Notes.  You are responsible for the left and right columns.
