You should aim to fill the page with your knowledge.  You have the whole period.  

What did you learn about genocide?  Consider What causes genocide, Who committed genocide, How genocides are committed, When and Where genocides have occurred, and Why genocides continue to occur.  Additionally, you could talk about details of the Holocaust, including how Nazis were held accountable (the Nuremberg Trials).  You may also talk about what we learned about human nature from the social experiments of Solomon Asch, Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo (Stanford Prison Experiment).  Just write as much as you can about what you learned in this unit, and you should do well.

In this assignment, you will learn about genocides since the Holocaust, and be able to draw comparisons between them and the Holocaust.  This will be our last assignment this unit; we will work on our open-note assessment on Monday.  The question?  What did you learn about genocide, and what is still unanswered?

In this assignment, you will learn about the Nuremberg Trials - when the Nazi leaders responsible for the Holocaust were put on trial for their crimes against humanity.  You'll also learn about how social scientists have conducted experiments to see what it is about humans that makes us conform, be willing to hurt others, and to accept characteristics of roles we are assigned, and give your opinion on the extent to which you think these explain how we can be capable of committing genocide.

Using the reading IMP-03, identify the various forms of resistance to imperialism practiced by peoples in Africa and Asia, and explain 1) which form you would have practiced (if you were resisting imperialism) and 2) which form you think was most effective.

Warm-Up - We will start with a check for understanding of what you learned last class about the causes of imperialism: https://forms.gle/uYx88RJb9Ng6xCm36

Part 1 Instructions: Each of the statements in Part 1 represents a reason, or motive, for imperialism in the late 1800s. Your job is to categorize each motive by cutting and pasting (or selecting and dragging) each statement to its corresponding category. For instance, if you believe a desire to make money is an example of an economic motive for imperialism, you would cut/paste or drag that statement into the cell for "economic motive."

Part 2 Instructions: For each image in the IMP-02 READING, 1) identify which motive for imperialism is being depicted and 2) explain what you see/what in the image supports your idea. For example, the first image shows a man cutting up a piece of cake labeled "Afrique" (Africa) to serve to the other men around the table. This image shows a political motive for imperialism. The cake represents land in Africa, and the slices of cake show that the men are trying to split up the land for themselves.
