How We Remember and Honor the Victims of the Holocaust: The Butterfly Project
The first year I taught Night by Elie Wiesel, I was struck by the sense of "unfinished-ness" my students felt upon completion of the text. They said they felt like there should be something "more." We talked about it, and realized that what we really wanted was a way to reflect and remember, and we weren't quite sure how to go about doing so.
As it often does during times of uncertainty, poetry presented itself as a fitting option.
In my research, I came across the book I Never Saw Another But

Leonardo da Vinci Group Work Poster - Mona Lisa (45.3 x 31.5 in)
What makes Mona Lisa so interesting? Since its creation, the ”mysterious smile” of Mona Lisa has become a well-known phrase. No single emotion can be attributed to her facial expression alone. She appears friendly and lovely but at the same time reserved and cold. With his Mona Lisa („La Gioconda“) the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) created a legend in Renaissance art. The painting, which was created around 1502 and hangs in the Louvre museum in Paris, still captivates thousands

Find European History resources | TPT
Take your students on a journey through European history with TPT! If you’re an educator or parent looking for printable or digital resources to help your student learn about European history, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re teaching about the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration, or the World Wars, there are plenty of high-quality TPT resources at your fingertips to teach European history to your students.
European history activities to try
Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about European history:
Centers & Stations
Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for various eras in European history. For example, you could have students navigate through a handful of centers or stations to help them learn about different elements of the Renaissance period, including influential cities, leaders, and artists. Or, to help them learn about the key figures and milestones of the French Revolution.
Map Making
With map-making activities you can not only teach students about European history, but also incorporate geography into your lessons. As they label and color maps, students can learn about important places in Europe and how European countries have expanded (and fallen) over time. For example, you could have students make maps of Europe before and after World War I to identify how the conflict impacted Europe.
Primary Source Analysis
One of the best ways to learn about European history is through historical documents, letters, diaries, art, and literature. Encourage students to use these firsthand accounts to gain a deeper understanding about European people and events. For instance, you can have students read excerpts from the works of Enlightenment philosophers — like Mary Wollstonecraft — and how they contributed to the political thinking of the time.
Research Projects
Have students research and present on a specific topic of European history, like the Age of Exploration. For example, ask students to choose a famous European Explorer to research, and have them write a short biography of that person or create a short video or presentation about their achievements and legacy.
