Bill of Rights for Whom?

Thomas Jefferson, the man who helped draft the Declaration of Independence and stated that "all men were equal and had unalienable rights among which were life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", was ready to change the lives of others because their culture was different from his.

Aim: Should government have the right to change the lifestyle or culture of a person?

- If you think so, what parts of a culture would be OK to change?

- If not, why do you thinks so. What is being violated? What is wrong with this?

- What parts of the U.S. constitution would be violated in a government engaging in this?

Nearing the End

At the beginning of this unit, many of you presented questions that you had about the Holocaust. As we near the end of the novel, I would like you to research:

1. How and when the Holocaust ended.

2. What happened to Hitler--what was his fate?

3. How did reading this book open your perception (made you aware)
about EVENTS going on in the world - past & present?
