Using the Holocaust in English 102

For an argument for why the Holocaust makes a good topic for a writing class, see my paper from the CCCC Convention in Minneapolis, “Educating for Empathy and Tolerance: Holocaust Studies and the Teaching of Writing.”

For a long argument on this topic, see excerpts from my book manuscript.

For some assignments that have worked in this class, see the materials we prepared for a workshop on this subject for the 1999 CCCC Convention.
