KEY QUESTIONS
From the viewpoint of ordinary Rwandans, what was the Rwandan genocide? What actually happened?
This lesson has some challenging texts from www.rwandanstories.org. They show the range of influences which led to genocide. Students will engage with an accessible but in-depth selection of material in a short time.
The group presentations help build a visual class-wide understanding which they can refer to later. With some classes, it would be useful to have done the ‘Genocide: vital vocabulary’ lesson before this one.
AIMS AND PURPOSE
To engage students in the text and collaboratively synthesise the information into a brief but powerful snapshot of how the Rwandan genocide was planned and implemented.
For students to understand the complex factors which brought genocidal ideas into reality.
WHAT DO I GET?
