Genocide in the 20th Century

(0)
Suitable for teaching KS3 - ideally Y9 due to the content of the lesson; "Does genocide exist today?" Students will look at examples of genocide in the 20th century; Holodomor, Ukraine Cambodia Bosnia and Herzegovina Rwanda Armenia Using information sheets (provided) students will complete a table (differentiated) on the different genocides. Students will then be asked to reflect on what they have learnt; Who is responsible for genocide? Are other people responsible if they do not try to stop the genocide? Why do people treat other human beings in ways like these? What would you do if you were in a situation where a group was being targeted? What can we do to stop genocide from happening in the future? This can open up some fantastic and thoughtful discussions. I use this lesson after teaching the Holocaust, as often I find other genocides tend to be forgotten about in the curriculum. All resources needed are included - please consider teaching this important lesson! Feedback is welcome.
