About this Course
| Q: | What is the video course about? This video course provides teacher tips and step-by-step instructions so you can use the second section of JPEF’s Tactics of Resistance lesson plan "Analyzing Conflict", right away with your students. In this part of the lesson plan, students run a Jewish partisan biography through the Resistance Matrix to visualize underlying patterns as they apply critical thinking. Students can then apply the Resistance Matrix to other historical and contemporary situations. They can also use it to brainstorm possible solutions to conflict in their own lives. |

The lesson also utilizes an engaging mix of video, archival photographs, brainstorming and small group work to see the wide spectrum of resistance tactics available, from unarmed to armed resistance. A downloadable “Jewish Resistance Slideshow” is also included, featuring rare primary-souces photos and illustrations depicting a spectrum of armed and unarmed resistance tactics Jews employed during the Holocaust. |
