Unit Three Goals

Hey peeps - Unit III is about to come at you fresher than the latest J. Diz track!

This unit of study focuses on a variety of reading and writing skills as they relate to the study of the Holocaust.  Here are the three goals for the first part of the unit:

• to engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions
• to analyze the development of a theme or central idea of a text
• to research an issue of national or global significance

Let's roll!
