Teaching the Armenian Genocide

Amber Llewellyn
Amber Llewellyn 3 months ago

I am in the depths of my World War I unit, and this morning, I realized that I had not mentioned the Armenian Genocide. I am always thankful to have access to the OER Project because when I discover that I have forgotten an important topic, I can often find a video or activity that I can use in my class quickly, and I know it will be high quality. I was not disappointed that there was a video about the Armenian Genocide, and as always, it had discussion questions ready for me to use in class. So, if you are looking for a way to start a discussion about the Armenian Genocide, please check out this link.

    I am planning to use this video as well. I'm hoping to devote a little extra time to the Armenian Genocide this year and incorporate some materials from Amy Perkins.

    Amazing find here Anne Koschmider . I also lean on OER for this topic. I have to say I don't do the most thorough job teaching this in the midst of WWI, but I revisit with a mini-unit on Human Rights over time near the end of the 1750-Present course. Bennett Sherry  has a great article tying multiple examples together for that purpose: Why Does Genocide Still Happen? Even with a higher Lexile level this article is accessible for students because of the way the author groups the examples. It also makes it easier to break-up or jigsaw in the classroom.
