Genocide Research Paper Organization

 

Part I:

Your thesis needs to answer the following question:

Why is it vital that the remembrance, history and lessons of the ____________________ (name your genocide) be passed onto to generations?

This is where your research and three key facts/examples from your independent reading book (survivor experience) come together. 

Organize your notes into subtopics: background, personal experiences, political climate, social climate, 8 stages (examples of organization, dehumanization, extermination, denial, etc…)

(2.5 pages double spaced)

 

Part II:

This section of your paper needs to address what you, as students, can do to combat and prevent prejudice, discrimination and violence in our world today.  (1 page double spaced.)

Please make sure your plan is specific and plausible.

 

Part III:

Explanation of your memorial.  (1/2 page)

Last page is your works cited
