Recently my students enjoyed the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman. As part of their assessment they all were given the task of learning about a Holocaust survivor's struggles, writing a radio script, and producing it for my podcast show. Here are the best examples:
Group # 1: We read the book Maus by Art Spiegelman. In this book the author refers to the Holocaust with stories and history of what happened when the dad, Vladek was a young boy. Now, we are making a podcast about a Holocaust survivor. Her name is Livia Bitton—Jackson.
Livia and her family were recently moved to the Dunaszerdahely ghetto from their home in Somorja, Czechoslovakia. Her father was recently taken away because all men between the ages of 18 and 45 were sent to forced labor camps in Komaron. Please enjoy Ms. Kingsley’s Accelerated English 12 class Group One’s scene.
