Students study the list of genocides, beginning on page 120, and choose one to research. In their research, they might try to identify genocide’s eight stages as described on page 60. Have students present their research to a group, who then discuss the facts and look for similarities such as what type of government was in power at the time of the genocide, what the nation’s economic conditions were and whether there were any forms of intervention.
