I can...

• understand Holocaust related diction
• explain new learning about the Holocaust using new vocabulary words

Opening:
1. Vocabulary Review:

• diction
• denotation
• connotation
• euphemism*

2. In a dictionary, look up: 

1. relocation
2. disinfecting/delousing
3. camp
4. final solution

3. Using the internet, do an effective web search on each of those terms by adding the term "Holocaust" into your search.

4. Discuss:

• what is the difference in meaning between the denotation, and the meaning in the context of the Holocaust?
• What's the difference in connotation?

Work Period:
5. In your literature circle group, look up all of the terms on page 179.  (If you are in a group of three, consider combining with another group of 3.)

Closing:

6. In your class notebook, use at least SIX words from the list to describe what you have learned about the Holocaust.
