This document outlines an activity where students will be split into expert groups to read about different topics related to the Holocaust. Each expert group will read and discuss their assigned article, taking notes to fill in an organizer. Students will then join jigsaw groups consisting of one student from each expert group. In these new groups, each expert will share information about their topic to teach their groupmates. Finally, students will synthesize what they learned from their peers using a 3-2-1 strategy like writing a fortunately-unfortunately story, if-then story, or ABC book structure.

Length: 2000-3000 words, double-spaced
1 In deciding what you want to do for your final research project, you should
first
choose a broad topic related to the course material (the history of Europe from 1900 to the present). Some potential broad topics may be World War I, World War II, the Cold War, colonialism, fascism, communism, Brexit, the Treaty of Versailles, war reparations, concentration camps, refugees, immigration, etc., etc. The potential broad topics are endless.
Then, do some preliminary research to determine what aspect of that broader topic interests you
.
You may already know this before even getting to this step, but if you’re stumped, researching can help you figure out what you find interesting.
NEXT,
you should narrow your original topic by choosing to either a) examine this topic as it relates to one (1) nation or region of Europe or b) compare and contrast this topic as it relates to two (2) or three (3) nations or regions of Europe.
Remember
:
not all
For instance
, if you've decided to choose fascism as a broad topic, you could narrow it down by examining "Fascism in France." Or if you choose to compare and contrast, you could examine "Fascism in France and Germany."
Then, do some preliminary research to determine what aspect of this narrower topic interests you
.
You may already know this before even getting to this step, but if you’re stumped, researching can help you figure out what you find interesting. Make note of what articles and resources you discover.
NEXT
, you should
further
narrow your topic. How you further narrow the topic is up to you, but some further ways to narrow the above sample topic, “Fascism in France and Germany” would be “Women and Fascism in France and Germany” or “The Differences in the Success of Fascists in France and Germany” or “Fascist Organizations in France and Germany.”
Then, do some preliminary research to determine what aspect of this even narrower topic interests you
.
You may already know this before even getting to this step, but if you’re stumped, researching can help you figure out what you find interesting. Make note of what articles and resources you discover.
FINALLY
, you should
further
narrow your topic by determining what time period you will discuss. A paper on “Fascist Organizations in France and Germany” would likely be restricted to the period between 1920 and 1945 (or a narrower subset of that period,) but other topics may be less obvious. This step may only be obvious after you have completed your research.
After
completing all of your research, and gathering most of your sources, you should then think about
your thesis
, or what it is you want to say about your topic. This may end up changing the title of your final paper, but likely won’t end up changing your topic.
You may not even need to go through these steps to get to a topic this narrow.

Nonfiction, visual culture, media, graphic, and argument---these elements of reading and writing converge in documentary film, making it an ideal way to understand how we create and receive arguments. What, after all, is a documentary except someone’s argument on a topic? Documentaries suggest that the audience (you) should accept the viewpoint, take the action, make commitment, understand the rightness/wrongness of this policy, etc. To achieve this purpose, the filmmaker (director) must understand the audience and appeal to them---ex, using the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos). All in all, documentaries build upon the visual world while focusing controversial and overlooked issues in your lives. Your research will culminate in a 3-4 page research paper and visual presentation.

Nicaraguan Civil War
The Nicaraguan civil war was a traumatizing experience both to the Citizens and the international world especially the United States of America. The war reminded people of the previous experience in the 1912 civil war. The war involved the US supported conservatives against the Mexico supported Liberals. Each party was seeking power with one faction agitating for respect to the constitutionality while the other faction is fighting to protect the interest of the United States implemented by the Somoza dynasty. This paper looks at the history or background of the war, the causes well as the aftermath of the war.
The Nicaraguan Civil war was a one-year affair beginning in 1962 and ended in 1927. The war came as a result of e coup d’état by Emiliano Chamorro a member of the Conservative party and former President of Nicaragua. According to the article “Sandino: The Testimony of a Nicaraguan Patriot” by Conrad, Robert Edgar, the author opines that Chamorro’s move was informed by his desire to take control of the nations. Chamorro would later force the then President and Vice president, Carols Solórzano and Juan Sacasa respectively to flee Nicaragua. Additionally, Chamorro got rid of all the Liberals in his government with hope that the United States would support him. However, the US government did not approve of his regime on grounds that he acquired power through the backdoor thus unconstitutional.
I agree with Thomas’ position about the war when he says that the war ensued after the liberals who were yearning for power were enticed with support by the US armed forces. Although the war was started as a result of the coup by Chamorro, (Morris et al, 1986) argues that advent of the war was the hardline stance by the Liberals under the control of Sandino Cesar. He did not subscribe to the leadership influenced by the United States. The Liberals were against the US interference with the local affairs in their country through their continued funding of the Conservative regimes.
This line of thought is supported by another article, "Celebrating the Demise of Solecism: Fifty Recent Sources on the Nicaraguan Revolution," by Booth (1982). The author indicated that the designated Sacasa Bautista supported liberals and the conservatives; Sacasa Diaz did win the voting process or election and was named as head on 1933Jan the 2nd.They add that in the United States, there was growing concern over the situation in Nicaragua. Although the Liberals opposed the invention of the US Marine’s in their political affairs, it is the latter that initiated the peace deal or the Peace of Tipitapa that in turn put an end to the war. It was after both eh Liberals and Conservatives handed in their ammunition of (31 machine guns and 3,704 rifles) and (308 machine guns and 10,445 rifles) respectively. The peace deal allowed Moncada to retain power until the next election.

Nicaraguan Civil War
The Nicaraguan civil war was a traumatizing experience both to the Citizens and the international world especially the United States of America. The war reminded people of the previous experience in the 1912 civil war. The war involved the US supported conservatives against the Mexico supported Liberals. Each party was seeking power with one faction agitating for respect to the constitutionality while the other faction is fighting to protect the interest of the United States implemented by the Somoza dynasty. This paper looks at the history or background of the war, the causes well as the aftermath of the war.
The Nicaraguan Civil war was a one-year affair beginning in 1962 and ended in 1927. The war came as a result of e coup d’état by Emiliano Chamorro a member of the Conservative party and former President of Nicaragua. According to the article “Sandino: The Testimony of a Nicaraguan Patriot” by Conrad, Robert Edgar, the author opines that Chamorro’s move was informed by his desire to take control of the nations. Chamorro would later force the then President and Vice president, Carols Solórzano and Juan Sacasa respectively to flee Nicaragua. Additionally, Chamorro got rid of all the Liberals in his government with hope that the United States would support him. However, the US government did not approve of his regime on grounds that he acquired power through the backdoor thus unconstitutional.
I agree with Thomas’ position about the war when he says that the war ensued after the liberals who were yearning for power were enticed with support by the US armed forces. Although the war was started as a result of the coup by Chamorro, (Morris et al, 1986) argues that advent of the war was the hardline stance by the Liberals under the control of Sandino Cesar. He did not subscribe to the leadership influenced by the United States. The Liberals were against the US interference with the local affairs in their country through their continued funding of the Conservative regimes.
This line of thought is supported by another article, "Celebrating the Demise of Solecism: Fifty Recent Sources on the Nicaraguan Revolution," by Booth (1982). The author indicated that the designated Sacasa Bautista supported liberals and the conservatives; Sacasa Diaz did win the voting process or election and was named as head on 1933Jan the 2nd.They add that in the United States, there was growing concern over the situation in Nicaragua. Although the Liberals opposed the invention of the US Marine’s in their political affairs, it is the latter that initiated the peace deal or the Peace of Tipitapa that in turn put an end to the war. It was after both eh Liberals and Conservatives handed in their ammunition of (31 machine guns and 3,704 rifles) and (308 machine guns and 10,445 rifles) respectively. The peace deal allowed Moncada to retain power until the next election.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
