Students took a virtual reality tour of Auschwitz and watched a NY Times 360 video on "The Displaced" to get a better understanding of our Holocaust unit and apply it to real events happening currently in war-torn countries. The comparison was important to deepen the understanding that worn-torn countries and people being displaced was not just something that happened a long time ago, but is istill relevant to today's world.

That's real world application right there! Tell your students that I did something similar with a Holocaust unit with HIGH SCHOOL students years ago!! They are way ahead of the game!
