Holocaust Curriculum Resources (ELA/English)

ELA Text Sets for Teaching About the Holocaust

NCDPI has collaborated with the North Carolina Council on the Holocaust to work with teachers across the state to develop the ELA Holocaust Curriculum Resource documents provided below. Each of the resources below represent text sets designed to support ELA teachers in middle and high school.  Grades 6-12 include two comprehensive text sets which teachers may choose to use.  Each text set has lesson plans with links to handouts, resources, documentaries, and culminating activities. Teachers are encouraged to use and adapt these resources as needed in the planning and delivery of instruction. Teachers are also encouraged to share these resources.  

A video has been prepared to provide a helpful overview of these resources. This video is coming soon.
