My journals were filled with maps of all the places I “discov ered” during my summers up north. As the years went by and I entered high school, the journal’s pages of maps became dotted with anecdotes from my life beyond that lake. It was around this time that I found a copy of [*The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon*](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/infusing-your-classroom-with-colour-facing-history-at-the-ago/)at a local bookstore.

They were right. But there was something about Facing History and how they approached teaching that piqued my interest and so I went.

The trip was led by Facing History’s Director of Jewish Education Jan Darsa. It was sponsored by Polish non-profit [The Forum for Dialogue Among Nations](http://www.dialog.org.pl/en/). His experiences, in particular his visit to the town of Pińczów, impacted him greatly.

For many the topic is very difficult and many students cannot wrap their heads around the scope and magnitude of how these mass murders could occur, particularly about the idea of how an entire nation could allow horrific events like this to happen. Creating that safe, caring classroom is essential in being able to have these difficult lessons. In a middle school classroom, these are essential conversations, as students at this age care and have a strong sense of fairness and justice.

For me it served to exemplify, and personify, the [Scope and Sequence](https://www.facinghistory.org/for-educators/educator-resources/our-pedagogy/scope-and-sequence) of [Facing History and Ourselves](http://facing.org/). On that evening, half a dozen of my students took the stage along with students from three other southern Ontario schools to perform their spoken word pieces.

If we do not find ways to engage them, we can expect to lose them. Moreover, movement is important for all students. It wakes them up, energizes them, and an alert student is more likely to learn. What follows is a lesson that was developed with the help of Jasmine Wong, program associate for the Toronto Office of Facing History and Ourselves. It relies on the use of the [Gallery Walk](http://www.facinghistory.org/resources/strategies/gallery-walk-teaching-strateg), thus getting students up and moving. The lesson was designed specifically to meet the expectations of locally developed Genocide and Crimes Against Humanities course, CHG38 (see expectations as listed in the [Human Zoos Lesson](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Human-Zoos-Lesson1.doc) plan), but can be tailored to most History courses.
