Honors English 10 Webquest

In this webquest, you are going to explore some of the outcomes of the holocaust.  Understanding the basic events, we will move on to determine the efficacy of the "Zog Nit Keyn Mol " (never again) campaign and the steps that have been taken in the international community to prevent reoccurrences.  Please use the following questions as a guide:

  1. What is the name of your institution?  Why and how was the name chosen?
  2. What was the mission at the time of its inception?  What is the link to the Holocaust?
  3. Has its mission changed?  How?
  4. Is this an effective institution?  Has it helped? Has it hurt?
  5. What, in your opinion, is the best thing this institution has done since its beginning? What is the worst?
  6. What does it do now?  Why has it changed?
  7. Should this institution continue to exist? Or just change its name?  To what?
  8. Does this institution have any impact today?

As you finish your webquest, you will be creating a radio newscast from the creation point of your institution.  Please download a sample running order on the webquest page.
