 * [[image:images-7.jpeg]] || This class will delve into the study of three recent genocides: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Darfur. Since the standards for grades 9-12 are lumped together, this class could be appropriate for any student in this grade range. We will look at the causes of genocide as well as how racism escalates from speech, names, and labels to discrimination, violence, and annihilation. We will use a combination of personal accounts, nonfiction informative pieces of writing, primary documents, and multimedia presentations to learn about the three instances of genocide. ||

What responsibilities does knowledge of genocide require of wealthy countries? What effect does genocide have on the generations who may not have lived through it but follow in its wake? How does knowledge of injustice and genocide change us as observers and witnesses?
