"NIGHT"
By: Elie Wiesel
Ctap project by Jennifer McAlpin
9H English - Julian High School
The ups and downs…
• The project went extremely well. I
found it to be an incredible journey
of discovery for both my students
and myself. The students learned
many aspects of technology,
research techniques, and to my
surprise were enthralled with the
content
and
exceeded
my
expectations of what they would
learn, create, and retain.
• There were a few challenges that I
faced, such as time restrictions,
computer lab availability, links
working 100% of the time and not
just 95% of the time, and student
access to the internet.
War is Peace… Freedom is Slavery… Ignorance is
Strength…
My students worked diligently on their “Night” power
point projects by using the Ctap links, my web page, and
many other resources.
• The above quote was used
by George Orwell to convey
his thoughts on war.
• My Ninth grade English
class took such quotes,
sayings, and expressions of
war time and combined them
with the tragic happenings of
the Holocaust.
• They created journals, power
point projects, completed
homework,
quizzes,
vocabulary,
tests,
presentations, and the novel.
Matt Lewis and Harry Horner
work together on their power
point project in the computer
lab. They used interesting
components of technology such
as the voice recording, voice
automated system, and audio
equipment.
“I had a lot of fun working
with partners and I really
enjoyed using the voice
recorder. It helped me not to be
nervous in my presentation,”
commented Matt Lewis.
“Life of Hitler”
By: Harry Horner and Matt Lewis
Growing Up
• Hitler was born on April 20,
1889,
at
Braunau-am-Inn,
Austria. Alois, his father, had
risen from a poor peasant
background to become an
Austrian customs official and
was able to provide his son with
a secondary school education.
Adolf, a bright and talented
student at his village school, felt
out of place in the much larger
urban secondary school. Poor
school grades prevented him
from obtaining the customary
graduation certificate.
THE EARLY YEARS
• In 1913 Adolf Hitler, moved to
Munich in southern Germany.
At the outbreak of the First
World War, in 1914, he
volunteered for service in the
German army and was accepted
into the 16th Bavarian Reserve
Infantry Regiment . The day of
the announcement of the
armistice in 1918, Hitler was in
hospital
recovering
from
temporary blindness caused by
a British gas attack in the Ypres
Salient. In December 1918 he
returned to his regiment back in
Munich.
THE BEGINING OF
GERMAN
POLITICS
• The
worsening
economic
conditions of the two following
years, which included a runaway
inflation that wiped out the
savings of great numbers of
middle-income citizens, massive
unemployment,
and
finally
foreign
occupation
of
the
economically crucial Ruhr Valley,
contributed to the continued
rapid growth of the party. By the
end of 1923 Hitler could count on
a following of some 56,000
members
and
many
more
sympathizers
and
regarded
himself as a significant force in
Bavarian and German politics.
Hitler was tried for treason and
given the rather mild sentence of
a year's imprisonment in the old
THE RISE OF HITLER
• With the outbreak of world
depression, the fortunes of
Hitler's movement rose rapidly.
In the elections of September
1930 the Nazis polled almost 6.5
million votes and increased their
parliamentary
representation
from 12 to 107. In the
presidential elections of the
spring of 1932, Hitler became
the most popular next to Field
Marshal Paul von Hindenburg,
and in July he outpolled all other
parties with some 14 million
votes and 230 seats in the
parliament.
OUTBREAK OF WWII
•
On Sept. 1, 1939, Hitler began
World War II—which he hoped
would lead to his control of most of
the Eurasian heartland—with the
lightning invasion of Poland, which
he immediately followed with the
liquidation of Jews and the Polish
people, the enslavement of the local
"subhuman" population, and the
beginnings
of
a
German
colonization.
Following
the
declaration of war by France and
England, he temporarily turned his
military machine west, where the
lightning, mobile attacks of the
German forces quickly triumphed.
In
April
1940
Denmark
surrendered, and Norway was taken
by an amphibious operation. In
May-June the rapidly advancing
tank forces defeated France and the
Low Countries.
THE FALL OF HITLER
•
In the last days of the Third Reich,
with the Russian troops in the
suburbs of Berlin, Hitler entered into
a last stage of desperation in his
underground bunker in Berlin. He
ordered Germany destroyed since it
was not worthy of him; he expelled his
trusted lieutenants Himmler and
Goring from the party; and made a
last, theatrical appeal to the German
nation. Adolf Hitler committed suicide
on April 30, 1945, leaving the last bits
of unconquered German territory to
the administration of non-Nazi Adm.

What a blast!
• It was incredibly fun
doing this project. Not
only did I teach my
students about the content
of the Holocaust, uses of
technology,
and
incorporating all of them
together, but I learned a
lot as well.
• My students enjoyed
themselves and definitely
benefited from this Ctap
project. Thank you!!
