DISCLAIMER : When learning about history, students are often asked to examine and discuss difficult, sensitive and disturbing historic events and time periods. This resource is in no way meant to trivialize the importance and sensitivity of the topic. As a teacher it is important to set the stage and recognize the diversity of your students. In no way am I trying to make the issue seem less important, less significant, or less complex than it really is. This resource was created to allow students to move around the room and learn about a difficult topic in a fun and engaging manner. If you do not feel that this resource is right for you, please do not purchase it.
Below is a list of resources that will help teach empathy and understanding of sensitive topics. These sites offer expectations about the content and manner of communication.

Your interactive slideshows are great instructional tools. We turned it into a game where if the students got the question right they got a point. The questions are very much explicit and easy to solve.

I was disappointed in the resource. Itis an excellent power point presentaion, however I believed it was a digital escape room as others have been. When assigned to my students there is no way to follow up on their completion or lack thereof. This left me disapponted. I have ysed numerous escape rooms with my students and we all love doing them.
