With Smokey Daniels as your guide you'll see exactly how Sara turns required topics into questions young adolescents can't resist investigating and units that help them become thoughtful, compassionate, and action-oriented. Smokey and Sara share everything you need: a developmental look at middle school kids, lessons for collaboration, self-awareness, and compassion, a toolbox of strategies, structures, and handouts, commentary from Smokey that highlights key teaching moves, Game-Time Decisions from Sara that reveal instructional choices, documentation of the incredible work that inquiry allows kids to do, engaging units on commonly taught middle school themes. Give kids all the complexity the standards could ever expect, and something they don't: the chance to grow from bystanders into Upstanders." -- pages (4) of cover.

Download or read book The Upstander written by Jori Epstein and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stench of decay pierced the air aboard the boxcar of trapped Jews. “Why me?” fifteen-year-old Max asked himself, as a convoy rumbled from the Warsaw Ghetto to Majdanek death camp in May 1943. The Nazis had destroyed the Glauben family’s business, upended their rights, and ultimately decimated their neighborhood. The deluge of questions would only intensify after the Nazis murdered Max’s mother, father, and brother. Max channeled grit, determination, and a fortuitous knack for manufacturing airplane parts to outlast six horrific concentration camps in his quest to survive. This memoir explores Max’s mischievous childhood and teen years as a go-to ghetto smuggler. Max journeys from displaced person to American immigrant and Korean veteran. He reveals how he ached as he dared to court love and rear children. For decades, he bottled up his trauma. Then he realized: He could transform his pain into purpose. Infused with raw emotion and vivid detail, historical records and Max’s poignant voice, this memoir relays the true story of the harrowing violence and dehumanization Max endured. It relays Max’s powerful lifetime commitment to actively thwarting hate and galvanizing resilience. Max insists you, too, can transform your adversity into your greatest strength. In the seventy-five years since his liberation, Max has ceased to ask himself, “Why me?” Instead, he reframes his focus, eager to partner with you and ask: “What can we do next?”
Book Synopsis Resisting the Holocaust by : Paul R. Bartrop
Download or read book Resisting the Holocaust written by Paul R. Bartrop and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables readers to learn about upstanders, partisans, and survivors from first-hand perspectives that reveal the many forms of resistance—some bold and defiant, some subtle—to the Nazis during the Holocaust. What did those who resisted the Nazis during the 1930s through 1945—known now as "the Righteous"—do when confronted with the Holocaust? How did those who resorted to physical acts of resistance to fight the Nazis in the ghettos, the concentration camps, and the forests summon the courage to form underground groups and organize their efforts? This book presents a comprehensive examination of more than 150 remarkable people who said "no" to the Nazis when confronted by the Holocaust of the Jews. They range from people who undertook armed resistance to individuals who risked—and sometimes lost—their lives in trying to rescue Jews or spirit them away to safety. In many cases, the very act of survival in the face of extreme circumstances was a form of resistance. This important book explores the many facets of resistance to the Holocaust that took place less than 100 years ago, providing valuable insights to any reader seeking evidence of how individuals can remain committed to the maintenance of humanitarian traditions in the darkest of times.
