On Thursday we met and discussed "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden. We also watched the video which was a short animation produced in 1964, and which brings the story to life in a very creepy way. Definately recommended for the curious, and part of many middle-school courses on the Holocaust.
Directed by Les Goldman and Paul Joulian
Narrated by Herschel Bernardi
Music composed and conducted by Serge Hovey
We also reviewed prejudice, stereotyping and conflict-resolution, which is part of the Prentice-Hall "Understanding Prejudice" lesson plan.
Assignment for next week: Start reading Maus I, and be prepared to review the "Conflict Resolution" and "Interrupting Prejudice" worksheets.
