Srebrenica - Lesson Plans

Use these original lesson plans to present the issues explored in SREBRENICA: A CRY FROM THE GRAVE to your class.

Lesson Plan 1 : Power to the People
In this exercise, students contribute their voice to the ongoing struggle for universal human rights. They are encouraged to research an organization to which they will send a letter on behalf of oppressed people in Bosnia, Kosovo or anywhere they choose.

Lesson Plan 2 : The Heart of the Matter
In this activity, students explore ethnic identity by examining its role as both a benefit and a burden to society. The general discussion of ethnic identity leads to a discussion about a more specific and problematic social issue, discrimination, and its likely cause, fear.
