English IV World Perspectives Stations Planning Sheet

Station	Activity
1.     Media Analysis Groups 1 and 2 (Upstairs media room)	http://www.npr.org/2017/10/06/555934000/the-man-who-helped-change-a-neo-nazi-s-mind The guiding question for this course is “how do humans find meaning and happiness?” Find and listen to the story in the link above. What details do you remember from the story?  Have you had any connections with a patient adult or peer which has influenced you in a positive way?  Discuss what you found interesting or instructive about this story, and share some of your own stories about people who helped you change for the better.  A note-taker will record the comments and stories of the group, noting who said what.
2.     Non-Fiction Reading Groups 3 and 4 (Library Floor and then Room E)	As you know from the station above, the guiding question for this course is “How do humans find meaning and happiness?” This book deals with such dark subject matter, but is it possible that Wiesel’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech and the interviews we saw him do with Oprah might shed some light on how Wiesel might answer that question. Using textual evidence from the Nobel Prize speech and his Oprah interviews and your inferential skills, discuss how Wiesel might answer the question “How can humans find meaning and happiness?” and include reasoning/evidence to support your response. Collaborate and rite a page that reflects the collective ideas/inferences of your group.
3.     Research Groups 5 and 6 (Room E)	A study of the holocaust compels us to reflect on host of issues: past and present, political and psychological, spiritual and philosophical. As a group, find one pertinent story/articles that is not about the holocaust but in some way addresses issues that are relevant to our study of genocide, oppression and the strength of the human spirit in the midst of suffering.  Copy and paste the link and then include a paragraph which discusses why your group selected this story/article; address how it is related to the topics we have been reflecting on in this unit. Everyone should contribute with either ideas and/or writing.
