This page is designed to provide information and extra resources to teachers who are teaching English Language Arts in Manitoba or interesting in teaching a unit on Genocide.  This activity falls into a unit I developed that looks at genocide and the Holocaust in particular.

The following links are to the online Manitoba S4 ELA - Comprehensive Focus Curriculum.  The Specific Learning Outcomes (SLOs) identified are a sampling of those that are met by the Genocide research assignment.

SLO 1.2.4
(page 3 of 15)

SLOs 3.1.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.2
(page 3 of 15)

SLOs 4.1.2, 4.2.5, 4.4.1
(page 3 of 14)

SLO 5.1.2
(page 3 of 17)

The technology outcomes laid out by Manitoba Education and Training's Information Technology  Literacy Continuum (ITLC) met by this research assignment are linked below.  Because this project is designed for a Senior 4 class, the expectation is that students are working at the Application and Extension Stage.

ITLC Outcomes Met:
 
 

1.3.2

2.3.1

3.3.2

4.3.5
