Grade 8 Students Complete DC Seminar Series and Embark on a Trip to Washington, DC

Grade 8 students participated in the final DC seminar in preparation for their grade-wide educational trip. To help prepare them for their visit to The National Holocaust Museum in Washington, students viewed a presentation from Sandy Rubenstein, a Holocaust educator and middle school teacher from the Horace Mann School.  Sandy’s presentation focused on her father’s memoir, Mark It With a Stone, a narrative of his ordeal and survival during the Holocaust.
In advance of this conversation, students worked with their history teachers and House Advisors to consider the definition of genocide, the role of individual citizens and communities in relation to genocide, and how genocide is manifest in the modern world. Following the presentation, students continued their learning through reflective writing assignments and small group structured conversations where students participated in Q's & A's.
