Students in 8th grade have just finished an excellent project designed to teach them about the Holocaust and choices people make.  Students researched the Holocaust and learned about the people of that time. They wrote journal entries as either a victim, perpetrator, bystander or rescuer/resister. Some students used blogs, some voicethreads and some powerpoint presentations to present their journals. Here is an example of a blog: Claire's Holocaust Blog and here is an example of a Voicethread Journal:  Zoe-Alice Master's Story

World language teacher Aviel Valenzuela had his students

participate in a creative and unique project. Using Google Voice, he created a phone number and recorded a greeting in Spanish. 

After his students had written a script in Spanish, they had to call the google number and leave their message in Spanish.
